Board president charged with misdemeanors By Melissa Burden Special to The Press Misdemeanor charges were filed on Feb. 13 in Oregon Municipal Court against Oregon School Board President P.J. Kapfhammer after an altercation he had with a man with autism last week at Clay High School. Kapfhammer has been charged with “menacing knowingly cause to believe serious physical harm” and “disorderly conduct recklessly by fighting, threatening harm or in violent turbulent behavior,” according to court records. Terry Blachowski, the mother of Thomas Blachowski, 25, who has autism, filed a report with the Oregon Police Department on Feb. 3. Blachowski stated her son was the honorary manager of the baseball team and was working out in the weight room with 50 other team members on Saturday, Feb. 1, according to the report. According to the report, Kapfhammer entered the room and began yelling at Thomas. “During the course of the yelling, the suspect told the victim that he needs his f***ing ass kicked,” states the report. The report further states the baseball team manager went up to the suspect and, “explained what the situation was.” “At this point, the suspect walked out,” according to the report. Blachowski also requested a civil protection order against Kapfhammer in Lucas County Common Pleas Court on February 4, according to records obtained by The Press. The order was dismissed on the same day by the court.

State to assess school buildings By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Northwood Local Schools District has been working with the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) to create a possible Master Plan for new or renovated school buildings. “The Ohio School Facilities Commission has built a lot of buildings and done a lot of renovations around the state. Basically, it’s Northwood’s turn,” said Superintendent Greg Clark. Based on Northwood’s eligibility ranking, the district was offered the chance of an OSFC state/local shared project in the near future. “We got a letter from the state saying it would like to partner with us to figure out what is in the best interests of our district. Where we stand right now, if we do end up with the project, 35 percent of the money would come from the state, and 65 percent would come from us locally. That’s a little bit of a hurdle,” said Clark. He estimated the total cost of such a

We’re hoping to have the widest variety of citizens from our district to attend and give as many opinions as possible.

“

Unidentified adult Kapfhammer told The Press this week he was uncomfortable with an unidentified adult being in the weight room with the students. “At the time, I did not know what I know now,” Kapfhammer said. “This has torn me up. It makes me look like I pick on disabled people and that is not who I am.” Kapfhammer said he was at the high school speaking with a wrestling coach outside of the weight room. Clay was hosting the Three Rivers Athletic Conference varsity wrestling championships at that time. “There were a lot of kids in the room and we had a wrestling tournament going on so there were a lot of people we don’t

project could be about $30 million, but a final figure has not yet been determined. “We don’t know that for sure. Right now, they are doing an assessment of all our buildings. At our end, we’ve put together a Facilities Planning Committee. That group is looking at what the best options are for our district between now and early June.” The committee is planning public meetings in the district to gauge input on the matter, he said. The first meeting was held at the high school earlier this month. “We had 39 people at our last meeting. At the end of that meeting, people had the

chance to walk around and look at that facility,” said Clark. “We’re hoping to have the widest variety of citizens from our district to attend and give as many opinions as possible. We will use the information we get from the state’s assessment to come up with what we believe to be the best options for us, and that could mean either no buildings at all, renovation of what we have, or brand new buildings,” said Clark. “Everything is preliminary right now,” he said. Clark is urging those who are interested in the fate of the buildings to attend the meetings to become aware of the district’s options, the assessment and to offer input. “The more people are aware of what’s being contemplated, the less likely they are to be surprised if we do end up with something on the ballot in the fall,” he said. The next committee meeting will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. at the middle school. “It’s a very open process. I don’t have a preconceived notion of what ought to

Board policy According to Kapfhammer, the incident would never have happened had the school board’s policy been followed. “He was not authorized or board approved to be in that room,” Kapfhammer said. “We have a strict policy who can be in the room and they must be board approved. It is not open to the public. I feel bad the kid went through that, but if someone would have told me who he was this would not have happened. “He is not a player or a coach,” Kapfhammer continued. “An honorary manager would have to be board approved and he was not. As a coach, you can’t bring anyone you want around the kids, even volunteers. They have to be board approved and there has to be background checks.” Although he is upset the incident happened, Kapfhammer said he was doing what he thought was the right thing to do at the time.

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton hehphotos.com) “I am not going to leave kids in a room thinking something is wrong,” Kapfhammer said. “In today’s times, you have to be comfortable asking questions of any unidentified person who is around our kids. I did ask questions and I got no answers. This is a 25 year old man. There is no part of me who wants to harm a disabled person. I work with disabled people daily. There is nothing I won’t do to help a disabled person, but there is nothing I won’t do to protect our kids in the schools. I was doing it for the right reasons. You can’t be an honorary manager if the board does not approve it. I wish this would not have happened, but I can’t change it. If policies would have been followed this would not have happened.” Garry Isbell, Clay’s baseball coach, did not return phone calls or emails to The Press asking for his comment on why he did not seek board approval and authorization for Thomas to be in the building. School Board member Jeff Ziviski called the incident “unfortunate,” adding it could have been avoided if the proper protocols had been followed. “In order to ensure the safety of all students in the district, at all times, whether it’s during school hours or during a school sponsored activity after normal school hours, the district has policies and procedures in place to ensure all visitors and non-students are properly identified and kept in the proper

know in the building,” Kapfhammer said. “I noticed a man in street clothes in the room who was just blankly staring at us. I asked the coach if he knew who he was and he said he did not.” Kapfhammer, who is chairman of the school board’s safety committee, said he felt something was not right and proceeded into the weight room. “He (Thomas) was just staring at us and at one point he stuck his tongue out at us,” Kapfhammer said. “I went up to him and asked him who he was and why he was there. He just turned away and would not look at me. I asked him what his name was and I got nothing. There was no emotion in his face, there was nothing.” Kapfhammer said he asked the same questions a few times and that his voice was getting more “amplified” with each request. Kapfhammer denied allegations that he cursed at Thomas, nor did he touch him during the altercation. “I asked a kid who was walking by if he knew this guy,” Kapfhammer said. “The kid said he was their trainer and special coach. I had just been through two safety meetings concerning school safety and I was worried, but then I was relieved that something bad was not going to happen.” Kapfhammer said he left the weight room to continue his conversation. He was then informed the young man’s mom wanted to speak with him. “[Terry] told me she was my worst nightmare and she started yelling and cussing at me,” he said. “At one point, she told me her son was autistic and I told her no one had told me that. She went off on me, telling me she was calling the press. It spun into something much, much worse.” Blachowski did not return repeated phone calls by The Press seeking comment.

areas,” Ziviski said. “It appears that these safety and security measures were not properly followed and that contributed to this situation.” New security policies The district is currently doing an “internal review,” of the incident, said Ziviski. “The silver lining in all of this is that the district is reviewing where the breakdown in our policies and procedures occurred and will make any needed adjustments, whether it’s to the actual policy or the enforcement of the policies, to ensure similar incidents are avoided in the future,” he said. “The district, like every other in the nation, is focused on evaluating and strengthening its safety and security measures.” The board recently held a community safety forum in conjunction with the Oregon Police Department where they identified the proper steps to take if an individual believes

they have identified any suspicious strangers in or around school property, Ziviski said. “The district has used time during its InService days to train employees and we have a student safety policy that states ‘students are also instructed to tell staff members, parents, law enforcement officials or school safety patrols of any suspicious strangers in or around school property,’” Ziviski said. “With the increased awareness for security and safety, everyone in our schools are taking a second glance at who they see in our schools.” Ziviski said there have been a few “false alarms” where a school employee has stopped an individual that they didn’t recognize. “In one incident, it resulted in the police being called to one of the schools only to realize afterwards that the person posed no threat,” he said. “It was a false alarm, but I would take 100 false alarms to ensure the safety of our students and potentially save lives.” Ziviski said the district’s new security policies have changed recently. During morning drop-off at the schools, parents are no longer allowed to go to their child’s classroom, he said. The children are dropped off at one location then released to go to their classroom when the bell rings. The district has also tightened pick up procedures.

Commercial development booming on Route 2 Business seems to be booming in Oregon. Mayor Mike Seferian said economic development in the city in the past year has been brisk. “We have the most industrial investment going on of any community in Ohio,” he said. Seferian, who was on council for years before he became mayor, said it’s been a while since he’s seen so much interest in Oregon. Construction and renovation of commercial buildings on Navarre Avenue, in particular, has been ongoing for the last several months, he said. “Back years ago, when there was a building boom in the 1980s, there was a lot of development on Navarre. We haven’t seen that in a while. But, after coming out of some of the hardest economic times we’ve seen around here, there have been a lot of good things happening. We especially have a lot of retail development on Navarre Avenue.” A small strip mall under construction on Navarre, next to Mattress Firm, will include Biggby Coffee, Penn Station East Coast Subs, and Happy’s Pizza when it’s completed, said Seferian. “It’s well underway,” he said. Dollar Tree Plans also call for Tireman, which operated for years at the Woodville Mall in Northwood, to move to the site where the Bartz Viviano Flowers and Gifts shop is located on Navarre, according to Seferian. “They cannot renovate that building, so Tireman plans to tear it down and build their own store on that property,” he said. “I believe Bartz Viviano is going to stay in business. I don’t know if they have settled on a location.” The former Bay Center Recreation Bowling Alley building is being renovated into a five bay shopping center. The Dollar Tree is among the stores leasing space there, said Seferian. “The entire building has been totally gutted. It looks like a brand new structure, that’s how much work they’ve done on it. The only thing that stayed up was the exterior walls,” he said. Hercules Tire The former Penske auto service shop just north of the Kmart store on Navarre is being renovated for a Hercules Tire franchise, and a vacant building next door where Fifth Third Bank was once located will be the site of a car rental company. A building that used to house the Oregon Economic Development Foundation on Navarre will be developed into a gas station/carryout, said Seferian. A special use exception zoning designation is needed before the gas station goes in, he added. Plans call for the construction of a large

medical facility, on Navarre, just east of Walmart, said Seferian. He does not yet have enough information on the extent of the services that will be provided by the facility. “There will be more than just offices. There will be medical procedures and treatments done there,” he said. While he’s pleased by all the commercial development in the city, Seferian would like to see businesses lease some of the vacant buildings that have been available for the last several years. Business friendly “Vacant buildings are a stigma to cities. We have not had much luck with the former Pharm and Food Town stores. We certainly hope that a good fit comes to both of those places.

have similar theories on economic development. We don’t want to lure people here and beg someone to come. We know there’s risk in having something like that happen. If we begged a big store like Kohl’s, or Target, to come, and they fail, because maybe there’s not enough traffic, then I’d rather they not come because people may look at that and think, `Look, they didn’t make it, we don’t want to risk it, either.’ We want to make the city appealing to retail business and hope to make it attractive enough to have some kind of mercantile and fine dining establishments locate here.” Seferian said the city has already made changes to become more “business friendly.” “We used to have an image as a hard place for new businesses, and that the building and zoning code was not as user friendly as businesses would like. Whether it was true or not, we had that stigma. We’ve turned that around. We believe Jim Gilmore (the city’s commissioner of building and zoning) facilitates the permit process and makes businesses aware of what they will need for it to happen fast. We have also refined our commercial sign code and made adjustments to bring it up to date. It seems to be something that was hard for people to understand. We tried to make it easier to understand and more up to date on what we allow for commercial signage. We have revisited our architectural standards and have allowed more options in our building code,” said Seferian.

Brown wants to connect ‘patchwork’ By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A second hearing has been held on a bill that would require applicants for unemployment insurance to register with OhioMeansJobs.com prior to applying for benefits. State Representative Tim Brown (R – Bowling Green), who co-sponsored House Bill 2, said last week that Tracy Intihar, director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, and Bruce Madson, assistant director of Employment Services for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, offered supportive testimony of the bill. The bill has been assigned to the House Manufacturing and Workforce Development Committee. Rep. Brown testified earlier before the committee on the bill, which is his first piece of legislation since being elected last November. The bill also requires applicants to contact their local Job and Family Services office by the eighth week of unemployment benefits. “This bill will result in immediately familiarizing those who have lost their jobs with those who are on the front lines helping our fellow citizens find the tools, skills, improvements and training that are necessary to get work,” Brown said. OhioMeansJobs.com is a job placement website that allows employers and job seekers to post information. The bill specifies someone registered on the website must receive a weekly listing of available jobs based on information he or she provides when registering. Brown said the bill ensures applicants will receive an email on a constant basis about job opportunities relevant to their background and experience. The bill doesn’t change current law, which requires those receiving unemployment benefits to keep a record of their job searching efforts and provide that record to the ODJFS. “Our primary goal is to move as many unemployed citizens as quickly as possible into a setting that will assist them in finding a job,” Brown said. He said the bill will help connect “the patchwork of different services that exist for individuals on unemployment insurance.” An analysis of the bill by the Legislative Service Commission projects it would increase costs to upgrade the computer system of the Ohio Office of Unemployment Compensation to interface with OhioMeansJobs.com. The ODJFS has estimated it will cost $131,250 to $314,500 to enhance both systems. The department has already received a grant of $12 million to upgrade the OMJ system and could use part of those funds to meet the requirements of the bill, the analysis says. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, an applicant must have worked at least 20 weeks for an employer participating in the unemployment compensation system. For 2013, wages must be at least $230 on average per week before taxes or other deductions. The benefit period equals the number of weeks worked, from a minimum of 20 weeks up to 26 weeks. In 2012, the average weekly benefit was about $305, which was received on average for about 17 weeks. Tim Derickson (R- Hanover Twp.) is a co-sponsor of the bill.

School buildings Continued from front page happen. I just believe that it’s my job as superintendent to make sure our community has the best information possible to make a decision. Even though it’s a 65 percent/35 percent split, and you think we would not get very much from the state, you have to wonder - when the district’s youngest building is 50 years old - when the next opportunity will come,” said Clark.

Tax proposal eyed with skepticism By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to the Suburban Press The fiscal officer in the Village of Genoa remains adamant in his opinion that a state proposal to collect local tax revenue violates the state’s constitution. State officials began maneuvering in 2011 to allow the administration to centralize the handling of the nearly $4 billion in income taxes collected by local municipalities - a move that finance officers across the state contend would devastate the municipalities. They mounted a year-long attack against it. The first bill aimed at putting the proposal into action died in session in 2012. But a new bill, House Bill 5, has been reintroduced recently in the legislature. “Basically, they had meetings and listened to nobody and they did it their way. All the suggestions from the income tax people, from the local people have been ignored,” said fiscal officer Charles Brinkman. “The state wants to run the income tax fund for everybody. But to me it’s unconstitutional.” Brinkman contends that state officials aren’t willing to wait until the economy gets better. Instead, he said, they’re taking the knee-jerk reaction to attempt to seize local municipality income tax funds to help the state out. “They keep taking things away from us but still expect us to do the job,” Brinkman said of running a municipality’s finances. He pointed to the loss of estate taxes, lower local government fund spending by the state and the tier-elimination of personal tangible property taxes as examples of major hits suffered by municipalities at the hands of the state. The local government fund was

“

...they had meetings and listened to nobody and they did it their way.

“

chopped by 50 percent in the last state budget-balancing process. The result: local governments are facing reductions of about $633 million through June 2013. “They want us to do more with less and less,” Brinkman said. A proposal in the 2013 budget of Gov. John Kasich could affect taxing capabilities for municipalities in the near future, he said. Meanwhile, Ottawa County is facing a decision on whether or not to renew a 0.25 percent sales tax enacted in July 2010, according to commissioner Jim Sass. Its renewal would, in effect, keep the county sales tax at 6.75 percent. That addition, which brought in nearly $3 million since going into effect, expires in September. However, Kasich’s budget proposal would force municipalities to keep sales tax levels the same for the near future. Specifically, as of July 2013, they could not be changed for three years. If the commissioners wade through all the formal hoops to enact the tax, including public hearings, the soonest the measure could take effect is July 1 – violating the state edict. Brinkman said state officials should concentrate on fine tuning what it has in place before trying to reach out for local in-

come tax funds. He pointed to the transactions of the Ohio Business Gateway created to help streamline the relationship between businesses and government using online services. “At least once a week they have trouble getting their money in some form or another,” Brinkman said. “If they are overloaded now, what is going to happen when they’re handling all the municipal tax monies especially during the high volume times such as July and December and the end of the quarters?” The Ohio Municipal League has mounted a campaign against the centralization plan. Municipalities are skeptical the state can collect their income tax money better, affecting everything from distribution to fairness. In an interview with the Associated Press, Kent Scarett, the league’s legislation representative, said his group is worried a centralized system could result in less revenue flowing to municipalities as well as less responsive tax administration. Other details of the bill also concern Brinkman. For instance, how are local officials supposed to remedy problems with individual tax complaints if the state has all the W-2 forms on file in Columbus offices? Brinkman asks, and state officials haven’t said what their share will be for administering the fund. “You know they’re not going to do it for free,” Brinkman said. “We want to make (the system) better. You can make the system better without taking it out of the hands of the local government. Things won’t be so business-friendly and the economy will be in the crapper,” Brinkman said.

Drive programs to benefit pet food bank Twenty-nine branches of Huntington Bank are collecting pet food to benefit the non-profit Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank. The goal is to collect up to 5,000 lbs. of food. Pet overpopulation is a significant problem nationwide, and more and more pets are being surrendered to animal shelters or simply abandoned as a result of foreclosure, unemployment and the economic downturn. Animal shelters, rescue groups and animal control facilities are already overcrowded, and a large increase in owner surrenders can lead to more animals being euthanized simply for lack of a home, according to Humane Ohio Marketing Director Jill Borkowski. Humane Ohio offers two programs to help pet owners during tough financial times: Low-cost spay/neuter to all Ohio and Michigan pet owners; and the pet food bank, which makes pet food available to pet

owners in need in Lucas, Wood and Monroe counties. In 2012, Humane Ohio distributed almost 70,000 pounds of pet food through this program. “The Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank makes sure that pets in our community do not go hungry, it helps pet parents keep their pets even in tough financial times, and it helps ensure that pet parents do not have to share their own meal with their pet and go hungry themselves,” said Borkowski. K100 and Huntington Bank are holding a pet food drive to benefit the Humane Ohio Pet Food Bank from February 11th – February 23rd. People who wish to support the pet food drive can donate wet or dry food at 29 Huntington Bank branches throughout the Greater Toledo area, including Bowling Green and Lambertville (for a full list of participating branches, visit the news page of

www.humaneohio.org). “Humane Ohio relies solely on pet food donations from the community to keep the pet food bank stocked and ensure that we do not have to turn anyone in need away,” said Borkowski. An 81-year-old woman with a limited income, said Borkowski, recently wrote a letter of appreciation to Humane Ohio for its food bank, which helped feed her two cats. Dry and wet dog and cat food donations can also be dropped off at Humane Ohio, 3131 Tremainsville (Toledo 43613), anytime between 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. People who are in need of low-cost spay/neuter or pet food should call Humane Ohio at 419-266-5607 or visit www.humaneohio.org for more information.

Grant for bridge projects awarded By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Ohio Public Works Commission has awarded funding to assist with two Wood County bridge replacement projects. The county commissioners were recently notified of the grant funding totaling $468,092, which will help fund the projects: Stearns Road at the intersection of Pursell Road in Perry Township and Pemberville Road over the Toussaint Creek in Troy Township. The estimated cost for the projects total $964,674, with bidding expected later this year. Board appointment The appointment of a new member of the Lake Board of Education will be on the agenda of the board’s Feb. 20 meeting, according to the district’s administration. The board interviewed three candidates for the seat vacated by Eric Hirzel, who is moving out of the district. District award The Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting has been awarded to Northwestern Water and Sewer District by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its annual financial report. The award was presented to Dave E. Cook, the district’s finance director. This is the 8th year in a row the District has received this award. Bridge project A project near the border of Ottawa and Lucas counties will affect traffic on State Route 2. From Feb. 25 through May, Route 2, between Veller Road and Krause Road, will be closed for bridge replacement.

Genoa budget includes funds for sewers, roads By Cynthia L Jacoby Special to The Press The Genoa administration plans to have a budget for 2013 ready by Feb. 19 for review by village council. “It’s being discussed at this time,” Genoa fiscal officer Charles Brinkman said of the final budget that must be approved by law by March 31. “We have a few meetings to go before it’s ready for council.” A public hearing will then be scheduled, he said, followed by the second and final readings that tentatively would take place March 4 and 18, according to village administrator Kevin Gladden. In late 2012, council approved a temporary budget of $8.6 million, including debt reduction and construction projects. Of that, $1.4 million is designated for the general fund which pays for daily operations in the village. “It’s going to be awful close to that,” Brinkman predicted of the final budget. As it stands now, the 2013 budget is 2.6 percent greater than the 2012 budget. Brinkman said inflation and slight price increases for products and labor usually account for cost increases. Whether or not employee raises will be

Two significant projects sure to be included in the budget are Phase 6 of the Northwest Storm Sewer Project and Phase 2 of the Washington Street reconstruction project. State officials recently informed the Genoa administration that they received a cut of Issue 2 funds to complete the projects, Gladden said. The Washington Street project will start north of Sixth Street and proceed to

the post office. Gladden said village officials can’t get their hands on the state funds until July 1. Consequently, a lot of the preliminary work and actual construction can’t take place before then. The village’s share runs about $400,000 for both projects together. The village will work with Poggemeyer Design Group of Bowling Green to get as much in place to get things rolling after that date, the administrator said. The plan is to get as much ready to get bids out soon so that construction can be under way by possibly August or early September, he said. “We’ll try to get the street paving and other things out of the way by then too,” Gladden added. Village officials are trying to coordinate the projects so that drivers aren’t subjected to a multitude of streets closings and temporary detours at the same time. Other capital improvements are on tap for 2013 also. About $70,000 has been designated for the repair of the town hall’s aging elevator, which is about 40 years old. The village also expects to begin construction on its new Veterans Park bathroom, accounting for another $60,000 in project funds.

Oregon woman arrested following high-speed chase An Oregon woman was arrested after a high-speed chase with officers from the Bowling Green Post of Ohio Highway Patrol on Feb. 13. According to police, troopers attempted to stop a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am at about 12:25 a.m. for multiple traffic violations on Interstate 75 southbound near milepost 169, which is just north of North Baltimore in Wood County. As the Trooper was attempting to stop the suspect’s vehicle, the Bowling Green Dispatch Center received a transferred 911 call concerning the suspect’s erratic driving. The suspect, Meganne L. McGill, age 22, of Oregon, Ohio, failed to stop for the trooper’s emergency lights and siren, and a pursuit ensued. McGill continued southbound on Interstate 75 into Hancock County at speeds

in excess of 100 mph. According to Patrol reports, she nearly struck several commercial vehicles, and troopers deployed stop sticks, which the suspect was able to avoid. McGill exited onto State Route 12 westbound (Exit 157), and continued driving erratically, police said. Due to her extremely hazardous driving, troopers attempted a

rolling roadblock. While attempting to bring the vehicle to a stop McGill’s vehicle struck a patrol car, ending the pursuit. She was taken into custody without further incident. The pursuit lasted 12 minutes, covering approximately 16 miles. McGill was not injured from the incident, and she was transported to the Bowling Green Patrol Post. McGill, who had a prior OVI conviction in 2012, tested .249 BAC, which is more than three times the legal limit. She was charged with Felony Fleeing and Eluding, OVI, and reckless operation. She was subsequently incarcerated in the Wood County Justice Center pending her arraignment at Bowling Green Municipal Court. None of the troopers involved were injured as a result of the incident, which remains under investigation.

Your Voice on the Street: by Stephanie Szozda

The Press Poll

What was the best piece of advice someone gave you?

Would no Saturday mail delivery have a big affect on you? Yes No To cast your ballot, go to www.presspublications.com Janice Gadus Millbury “It was my father and he said to ‘always think of yourself just as good but never any better than someone else’.”

Tim Krugh Millbury “My father, he said, ‘put your trust in the Lord and not a man’.”

Opinions upsetting To the editor: I am responding to an upsetting opinion published in The Press regarding the new church for our St. Ignatius Catholic community. It is beyond my comprehension why this would have been done. I can tell you what St. Ignatius means to me as a very proud and active member. As Jesus taught, and as our Catholic religion believes, in life you receive the positive benefits from things when you give forth the sacrifices to achieve them. We as good stewards do not expect to receive when our goal is doing the right thing for everyone. My grandmother, many, many years ago who struggled financially, so much that the Priest allowed her to take residence above St. Ignatius – helped with funding to build the church that so desperately needs to be replaced today. If it weren’t for their generosity, we would not have the benefit of the most beautiful community we have there today. I have no doubt that they prayed and were led to do the right thing just as we did and are doing. We are so blessed to have the leadership of our Priest at St. Ignatius. He has been extremely cautious and concerned with this huge decision. It is an absolute correct decision on the part of all the parishioners. He had the church community make the conclusion and kept prayer at the head of it. Anyone who is involved with our church can tell you why a new church is more cost effective than the Band-Aid effect that no longer works. The difficulty with maneuvering caskets in and out, and the other mentioned difficulties are not the main reasons why the new church is necessary. Some of the factual grounds are that the outdated structure is no longer sound, and certainly is not perfect any longer. I have worn pieces of the crumbling ceiling while leaving the church. I am one of the many members that have joined the St. Ignatius Catholic community, and feel blessed to be part of a community that I see growing. The Holy Spirit led me back to church through one of the many, many successful ministries that this church holds, Catholics Returning Home. I for one am proud of how much we do for the community. Much of my family is buried in the cemetery. Many of them belonged to other churches as they got married and moved away, but bought their final resting place in back of a church that they belonged to at one time, and helped create so my faith could grow. I have faith that the reason someone would have to publish such an inaccurate and hurtful opinion to so many, especially someone who attends a different church, will examine his conscious and allow prayer to lead their way. Gina Faneuff Member St. Ignatius Catholic Community, Oregon

Parish generosity To the editor: In a recent letter, Dave Jaeger of Oregon suggested “that it is time for some soul-searching to be done within the St. Ignatius family.” He suggested that St. Ignatius Parish should be raising funds to help the poor of our community rather than to build a new church. Allow me to point out a few facts. St. Ignatius Parish provides monthly financial support and kitchen volunteers to St. Louis Helping Hands. St. Ignatius Parish conducts a vibrant

St. Vincent de Paul ministry with 16 members on the core committee and with hundreds of dollars donated each week by parish members, allowing the ministry to help hundreds of members of our Oregon community who are in financial need. The Social Concerns Committee of St. Ignatius Parish coordinates a community garden with all produce being donated to Food For Thought Food Pantry and St. Louis Helping Hands. Each Advent/Christmas the St. Ignatius Parish Giving Tree Ministry helps as many as 40 families in Oregon and Toledo who are in financial distress to have a Christmas with gifts for their families. Our Altar Rosary Society sponsors a blanket-sewing ministry, providing blankets for Heartbeat. This is a small sampling of the hours our parish members spend in service to God’s people as well as the dollars that are collected to help parish members and the larger Oregon Community. This kind of outreach has been going on at St. Ignatius Parish before, during, and I am sure will continue long after our capital campaign and building project is completed. While Mr. Jaeger is entitled to his opinion on the need for a new church, 350 families at St. Ignatius Parish disagree with him. To suggest that families have been “strongarmed” into giving is ludicrous. Any pastor of any denomination will tell you that church members cannot be forced to give. Their giving flows from their hearts. The vast majority of parish members at St. Ignatius have chosen to give because they see their giving, and our building of a new church, as an investment in our faith community, an investment that will enable our community to care for and minister to our parish members and the Oregon community even more effectively. While no person or community is perfect, the faith and generosity of our St. Ignatius Catholic community cannot be questioned. Our faith is lived and vibrant, and our care for the social needs of our sisters and brothers is expressed in our deeds. Fr. Mark J. Herzog, Pastor St. Ignatius Parish

Disheartening To the editor: We are writing in response to the letter “New church not needed.” We are current members of St. Ignatius Catholic Church and were disheartened to see this letter. We were on the committee to call parishioners to solicit pledges for the new facility and do not feel it was a “highpressure campaign.” If someone told us they could not afford to make a pledge, we did not call them again. Yes, we did call people two or three times, but only those who did not call us back. We have made a pledge for the new church and have not felt pressured at all. As greeters at church at the 8 a.m. Sunday service, we watch the older parishioners and those that are disabled, struggle to get up the steps or maneuver the very long handicap ramp that is available, with no door or parking place close to it. We have heard people say they attend other churches in the summer, due to being uncomfortable in the heat. It is also hard to feel like a close-knit church family with people sitting in four different areas of the building – no addition will fix that. It is

also very difficult for people to get up to the choir loft. How many parishioners will return or we will gain with a “state-of-art facility?” In regards to most of the parishioners being “up in years,” we are not, and there are many young families that attend every Sunday, as is evident by the number of young children that attend Sunday school. We as a parish do help those in need in the community above and beyond the pledges made to the new church. We have a giving tree every year at Christmas that helps our parishioners in need and a few surrounding parishes. We also help St. Louis Helping Hands, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Heartbeat of Toledo, The Path of Life, Little Sisters of the Poor, Catholic Charities, Food for Thought and the list goes on and on. We are proud to be members of this wonderful parish and are extremely excited about the new church. Todd and Vicki Riley Oregon

Stewardship defined To the editor: I am writing to add my opinion to the many that Mr. Jaeger gave voice to in the Feb. 11 edition regarding replacement of St. Ignatius Church. In 2009, the concept of replacing the current historical building for a larger facility was introduced by the new priest through sermons and numerous meetings. Issues of maintenance cost and inadequate facility amenities were repeatedly stressed, however questions regarding funding and lower cost alternatives were never presented for full parish review. In 2010, my wife, who had been the music director for 27 years, and I left and joined a new parish due to the repeated pleas for a new church. Over the last three years, we’ve seen an increasing number of friends leaving as well out of disagreement over the single-minded direction being set in this venture. In times of economic un-

certainty and an aging parish population, it makes little sense to replace a sound historical church with an unneeded larger facility, or saddling a parish with declining attendance with the costs. An ongoing theme of the current priest in his weekly sermons has stressed “stewardship.” Stewardship includes the obligation of care and relinquishing back to the owners at the end of one’s service. This obligation of care extends to the financial health of the parish. Laying the costs of a new place of worship upon the owners – the parish, for years after the current priest’s tour is served when the full costs of the replacement nor lower cost alternatives have been presented to those who will bear the bill does not meet the definition of stewardship or demonstrate a basic understanding of fiscal responsibility.

Expecting the unexpected; don’t get caught unprepared by Bryan Golden and time. Surveys have found that more than 60 percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in emergency savings. This is an alarming statistic that means tens of millions of people don’t have the financial means to get through even minor unexpected challenges. The secret to building up your savings is to pay yourself first. This takes discipline and consistency. Every time you get paid, try to put at least 10 percent aside for your emergency fund. If you can’t manage 10 percent , put away whatever you can. You want to pay yourself before you spend on any discretionary purchases. It’s easy to make excuses to avoid putting money aside. Don’t do it. Get into the habit of contributing to your emergency funds. The whole point of being prepared is that you

Flexibility and a positive attitude are essential for dealing with unplanned events. You must believe in your ability to get through tough times and to find solutions to your problems. Flexibility allows you to consider various strategies. A perfect example is someone who decides to start their own business after losing their job in a tight job market. Being ready for any impending storm also entails having contingency plans. Work through various what if scenarios to assess what action you must take in order to be adequately prepared. It’s just like a fire drill; as much as possible, you want to know what your options are before the actual alarm rings.

are OK when circumstances change without notice. What are some potential unforeseen economic issues? Loss of a job, house repairs, car repairs, medical expenses, appliance repairs, or any increase in monthly expenses for necessities. The need for emergency savings is not dependent on your income level. When all of your paycheck is spent each week, without putting some away for yourself, it doesn’t matter how much you are making. Turning to credit cards is a common strategy used to compensate for a lack of savings. This approach is fine if the new charges are paid off before running up additional purchases. Unfortunately, most people continue to increase the charge balances faster than they pay them off. Therefore, all they have done is increased their monthly expenses. Other valuable assets in preparing for the unexpected are your skills and knowledge. If you lose your job, do you have enough marketable skills to secure another similar job or a different one?

The patterns are so familiar; after the warnings of an impending storm are broadcast, people rush to prepare. They jam the stores to buy food, batteries, flashlights, generators, shovels, candles, and whatever other supplies they feel are needed to survive the coming bad weather. Wherever you live, there is bad weather that is predictable. It may be hurricanes, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, droughts, blizzards, or ice storms. You may not know exactly when or where, but you know from past experience the inevitability of storms. There are people who plan ahead. They know what each season can bring. They always have enough of the essential emergency supplies on hand so they don’t worry about being caught unprepared. In addition to being prepared for an unexpected storm, you should also be prepared for other unexpected events. As much as you plan for what you want, encountering the unforeseen is inevitable. Money is an important asset in your preparation. Having secure, readily available savings gives you the ability to endure financial downturns or emergencies.

Nutrition center thriving in downtown Oak Harbor By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com Peter Drucker, a renowned business consultant, once said that, “Whenever you see a successful business, (know that) a courageous decision was made.” That is the thinking behind Doug and Kyle Cunningham’s decision to open L.D.J. Nutrition, a store that is one of several new businesses lining the streets of Oak Harbor. The store, which opened in June at 156 W. Water St., has products ranging from smoothies and teas to aloe vera and supplements, not to mention a knowledgeable staff that can help answer questions regarding healthy living and nutrition. One of their specialties, 20-ounce smoothies, come in flavors from apple pie to chocolate mint to watermelon. The company also has a body composition monitor that determines a person’s bone mass, muscle mass and body fat percentage, among other things. “We have a series of supplements for body building and natural performance enhancers,” said Kyle, 21, the younger the brothers. “We have a healthy heart line, digestive products – pretty much everything from cellular nutrition to shampoo and body wash. We also carry fragrances and skin care products. “We also offer meal replacements in the form of smoothies, products for weight loss, weight gain, sports nutrition and a full line of vitamins and supplements,” he said.

Brothers Doug (left) and Kyle Cunningham, owners of L.D.J. Nutrition, which sells products ranging from smoothies and teas to aloe vera and supplements designed to promote ﬁtness and healthful living. The primary theme behind their store is that its products are naturally-based and healthy. “All of our products, even (those) in our sports line, are natural-, plant- and food-based,” said Doug, 25. So how did the brothers come up with idea of owning and operating their own business? “My brother and I kind of fell into it,” Doug said. “We were both looking for a way to get in shape for different reasons. (Kyle) wanted to gain more muscle and I wanted to lose weight. We started using these prod-

ucts and I lost about 40 pounds and (Kyle) has gained almost 25 pounds in lean muscle. We also just wanted to help people get into a healthy lifestyle. “We started using the products in February (of 2012) and by April, we knew that (opening a store) was something we wanted to do,” Doug said. Thus far, Kyle notes, things seem to be going pretty well. “We’re getting a lot of business and support for the community.” So how does someone get started on the path to good health? “We tell (our customers) about our per-

sonal results and give them some testimonials from other people,” Kyle said. “We usually get people to do a wellness profile, which tells us about their different body functions from weight to body-fat percentage, body water and calories burned in a day, for example.” Both Doug and Kyle are running the business while attending Terra Community College in Fremont. “We try and schedule things so we have classes at night after the store is closed,” Doug said. “Sometimes it’s difficult to balance everything out. The pros are that it’s very rewarding to help people in the way that we do and we’ve also met so many people and have made so relationships. As for the cons, we’d have to say it’s a lot more work than people think.” “It’s actually a lot of work,” Kyle said. “I never thought, at my age, that I would be running a small business. It took a while to get the bumps worked out, but now Doug and I have a pretty good grasp on what’s going on and how to manage everything and be successful at it.” The Cunningham’s aren’t claiming their products will be able to do unspeakable things but rather that they can work improve one’s health. “None of our products claim to cure anything,” said Doug, “but when you put healthy, natural items into your body, the results may surprise you.” For more information, visit the store, contact Doug at 419-680-8362 or Kyle at 419-680-6233 or email at dougkylecunningham@gmail.com.

In any color, African violets add a touch of mid-winter beauty By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com There is a lavender hue in the skies this month that I seldom see at other times of the year. Sometimes it tinges an overcast February morning and other times it can be seen in the low cloudy sunsets. The lavender of February is a dusky shade sometimes referred to as “old lavender.” Perhaps this shading in the February skies is one reason that the beautiful lavender amethyst was selected as the birthstone for this month. Amethyst is a form of quartz with a very unique crystal structure which creates its rich, brilliant violet/lavender color. Though its name, amethyst (from the Greek word “amethystos”) means “not-intoxicated,” “amethyst-violet” along with the “old lavender” of the February skies are delightfully intoxicating treats for this mid-winter month. Another lavender treat in February which can be found in a beautiful, delicate little houseplant, easily obtainable at many home and garden shops now, is the African violet. Originally native to the eastern tropics of Africa in Tanzania and Kenya, the “Saintpaulia” or African violet grew

Get Growing

African Violets as a wild species in shades of light to deep violet and white. The standard variety of the plant could grow to 12 to 16 inches in diameter and 8 to 10 inches tall. The plant’s rounded or oval leaves were a deep green,

fleshy, and covered with fine, hairy down. Originally the blooms of the plant were five-lobed and grew in clusters of three to 10. African violets have been greatly hybridized and developed over the years, and today we have much greater variety of colors including pinks, rose, red, blue, creams, bi-colors, multi-colors, and colors with contrasting borders. Bloom shapes have also been developed from the single form to double, fringed, semi-double, ruffled, etc. African violet foliage types now include quilted, ruffled, scalloped and variegated colors. Over the years, these little lavender beauties have really been developed and improved and are a fabulous houseplant. There is literally an African violet for almost any plant taste. For more information on types and varieties of African violets see http://www.avsa.org/Home:htl. African violets are not “picky houseplants” but they do have basic needs that, if met, will result in healthy, happy, almost continuously-blooming plants. These plants require plenty of light but not direct sunlight. A location near an east or north facing window works well, or the plants can be grown under artificial lighting (two 40 watt fluorescent tubes placed at about

12” to 18” above the flowers). Watering African violets should be done when the soil is dry to the touch. Use room temperature water and apply it directly to the soil while keeping the leaves and crown dry. Water thoroughly until it drips from the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. An ideal temperature level for this plant is between 65 and 75 degrees with moderate humidity levels. Plants being grown near windows in the winter may need to be moved at night to keep them from chilling. When fertilizing this plant, use a balance formula (equal parts nitrogen phosphorus and potassium) and apply as directed on the fertilizer package. If plant growth begins to slow or the leaves begin to fade on your flower, fertilizer is needed. African violets can be propagated from leaf cuttings and new plants can be easily started in the home.

When it comes to weddings, it’s “your day, your way” By Stephanie Szozda Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When it comes to planning weddings, there is a resounding underlying objective that all brides seem to have – the desire to make their day unique, personalized and memorable. All while on a budget. There are endless possibilities to turn a wedding into a unique fairy tale and Sunrise Park & Banquet Center recently hosted a bridal fair to help future brides explore these possibilities. Northwood Jewelers was on hand at the bridal fair showcasing a large selection wedding bands, from classic to one-of-akind. Tara Taylor showcased some of the hot new trends in male weddings bands, including silver bands inlaid with camouflage to the tungsten ceramic rings, which appear to be a sleek and shiny slate color. “Plain titanium has always been popular with the men as well and one of the newest styles out there is the wood grain and rose gold rings,” Taylor said. The most popular ring, according to Taylor, is the fingerprint ring, which incorporates a scan of the bride’s fingerprint cast into the ring. The unique and modern look is capturing the attention of many couples, Taylor said. Northwood Jewelers also has a large variety of bands that can be customized to fit with almost any engagement ring. Bands can be made in any metal, any size and with any karat stone. A unique new band is the “add a diamond” band, which includes spaces where diamonds can be added each year – either the same size diamond or, couples can get

Joyce Kachenmeister, a licensed wedding officiate and owner of Crystal Manor

River Weddings in Toledo, also talked about trends. “What I find as far as meeting with couples is that they are cutting costs and

looking for something small and intimate but still very elegant,” she said. “They’re cutting down the guest lists because they just can’t afford it. A lot of couples I find like the outdoor setting – it’s different and unique, especially if they don’t have a base church.” Joyce’s personal motto is, “your day, your way.” “I make it reflective of the two of them. Instead of just handing them a ceremony and saying pick this or pick that, they get to go and design it based on what they want to put in it,” she said. Also among the exhibitors at the fair was Chiavari Chair Toledo, offering a display of table settings alongside a collection of photographs depicting eye-catching floral designs by Bartz Viviano. In addition, Tiffany Inman was on hand representing It Works!, a company that specializes in body contouring applications used to help anyone from the bride to the mother of the bride to tighten, tone and firm trouble areas before the big day. The company also offers a skin care line as well as a line of premium supplements that promote health and can aid in weight loss. Tiffany boasts that she lost 70 pounds while using the products. Tiffany Turner and Geri Dennis from Mary Kay Cosmetics promoted their bridal glamour sessions and wedding party consultations and Ken Kilman, owner of New Image Photography and Video, discussed his wedding services, which includes photographing destination wedding at no extra cost for travel and no restriction on the destination. Then, if a couple has a reception back home, he will photograph it for free as long as it is not on a Saturday.

Not just a fruit, rare kiwi hatches at the Toledo Zoo A female North Island brown kiwi chick hatched Jan. 12 at the Toledo Zoo. The birth is a first for the zoo’s Avian Breeding Center (ABC), an off-exhibit facility dedicated to breeding rare and endangered birds. Zoo staff is hand-rearing the chick, which as a precocial species was relatively mature and mobile soon after hatching. An estimated eight zoos in the U.S. and 17 zoos worldwide exhibit the animals; few zoos outside New Zealand have successfully hatched kiwi. The Columbus Zoo provided the Toledo Zoo with a fertilized egg in December

2012. “This successful hatching is the result of dedicated staff at both zoos working to help an endangered species,” Robert Webster, the Toledo Zoo’s curator of birds, said. Aviary staff from both zoos worked together throughout the 73-day incubation. Kiwi chicks have the longest incubation period of any bird species, followed by an unusually long hatching process, which often lasts several days (the zoo’s kiwi chick took five days to complete hatching). “We’re proud to welcome this chick to the Toledo Zoo,” Robert Webster said, “and we look forward to introducing this fascinating

species to the public.” Public exhibit details have not been finalized but are expected to be a part of the Wild Walkabout exhibit, scheduled to open on May 24 and feature the animals of Australia and surrounding regions. Kiwi are nocturnal, flightless birds native to New Zealand. An estimated 28 kiwi live in U.S zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). In the wild, kiwi were once widespread in New Zealand, but today populations are isolated and fragmented. For more information, visit toledozoo. org or call 419-385-4040.

Clay students wait tables to benefit Oregon schools The students of Oregon Schools once again show off their skills as waiters and waitresses at a fundraising dinner planned to support the Oregon Schools Foundation Saturday Feb. 23 from 7 p.m. to midnight at St. Michael’s Hall & Catering, 4001 Navarre Ave., Oregon. The annual fundraiser will feature cocktails, food by Chef Michaels Gourmet Catering, dancing, a big six wheel and other games of chance. The menu will include Betty’s salad, chicken paprika with dumplings, kielbasa, red skin potatoes, julienne carrots, rolls and butter and tulip desserts. The student waiters and waitresses will be donating their tips for the evening to the foundation. Through an established endowment fund from donations, interest earnings are used to provide grants, as well as community resources, to support programs that enhance the educational experiences in Oregon schools. The event brings the students, teachers, parents and business owners together in one evening to work toward this goal. Each year the attendance at this event has grown, according to Teri Fork, Event Organizer and former OSF President. “I have come to this event the last few years; it is fun to see so many of our neighbors and friends, and it is a joy to see these school children offer their services to support their own schools,” said Lisa Keller, who plans to attend the event again this year. Among the major sponsors of the event is Mercy St. Charles Hospital. “We are so pleased that Mercy St. Charles Hospital is supporting our organization’s event,” said Laurie Rigg, A number of other businesses and community members have also pledged their support for the event, including Attorney Patti Novak, GenoaBank, Rigg Restoration, Expressions Videos, S&D Capital, ServiceMaster by Park-Ellis, TAS Electrical Contractors, Dunn Chevy Buick, First Federal Bank, Oregon City Federation of Teachers, Matthews Ford and Ernst and Young. “It is so exciting to see the business owners in our community rally to support our children and our schools,” Fork said. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door.

Family Briefs the red carpet, where they will be greeted by screaming fans and then be interviewed by Chrys Peterson and Jerry Anderson from Toledo News Now. Attendees will dine on hors d’oeuvres donated by nearly 30 Toledo restaurants, and enjoy dancing to the sounds of The Homewreckers and Hepcat Revival. Proceeds from the event will be used to help provide critical Red Cross services and training. Tickets are $100 and may be purchased by calling 419-329-2573 or visiting redcrosstoledo.org.

Hope Gala set

Clay High School students are honing their serving skills, hoping for generous tips, which will beneﬁt the Oregon Schools Foundation’s mission to enhance the educational experience for Oregon students.

“The Music Man” Lake High School will present its spring musical, “The Music Man” March 21, 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. The much-loved musical follows fasttalking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. Hill’s plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by the curtain’s fall. Tickets will be available at the door, and

will cost $5 for students 18 and under and seniors 60 and over, and $7 for all other adults. To reserve tickets or for more information, call 419-661-3000, ext. 3832 or visit www.lakeschools.org.

Red Cross “Oscar Night” American Red Cross will celebrate its 10th annual Oscar Night fundraiser Sunday, Feb. 24 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Owens Community College’s Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Guests to the black-tie event will enjoy star-treatment from the moment they walk

ISOH/IMPACT will host the 2013 Hope Gala Feb. 28 at the Hilton Garden Inn at Levis Commons in Perrysburg. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception and a silent auction, followed by the program beginning at 7 p.m. WTVG 13abc news anchor Jeff Smith will emcee the event, which will include music provided by harpist Joy Campbell. The goal of this year’s gala is to raise the funds to build the International Hope Center on ISOH/IMPACT’s acreage on S. Wilkinson Way in Levis Commons. A matching the grant has been provided by The Diehl Family Foundation. The new 15,282 sq. foot facility will double the capacity of the organization’s current warehouse in Waterville, and will serve as the only dedicated distribution center for disaster relief aid in this area. The center will serve as a model for similar centers around the world. To learn more about ISOH/IMPACT or about the 2013 Hope Gala, or to register for tickets, visit www.isohimpact.org.

Lake’s cage champions honored on 50th anniversary By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com

(Press photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.lifepics.com) They were highly motivated and nothing really bothered them or distracted them,” Sanderson continued. DeFalco said the team did not have a lot of height, but had speed and could shoot lights out. “We had a full court press from the get-go, and so we fast-broke a lot, we were always moving, we were always pressing, and so I think all of us were in pretty darn good shape to do that throughout the year,” DeFalco said. “From that standpoint, we scored a lot of points and we ran a lot, and a lot of teams really couldn’t keep up with us. The pressure of bringing the ball up the court was hard for them, and we double-teamed a lot, so it was a different kind of play. I liked that fast play and we did well with that. “I think we all shot well. I remember Pat Lutman here — he used to shoot those rainbow shots that almost hit the lights, I swear, and then they would come down and tear off the net, and he only made two points on those shots he made from the out-

“

We scored a lot of points and we ran a lot and a lot of teams really couldn’t keep up with us.

“

Fifty years ago, the Lake 1963 basketball team was in a similar situation as this year’s team. In 1963, if Lake defeated perennial power Rossford, then the Flyers would be co-champions of the Northern Lakes League. The ’63 team made good, downing Rossford, 64-46, in front of a packed house on the stage of the old Lake gymnasium and the Flyers and Bulldogs became league cochamps. Last week, that 1963 team was recognized at halftime of the 2013 Lake-Otsego boys’ game. That ’63 team got to watch this year’s team (18-2 overall, 10-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference) soundly defeat league front-runner Otsego (17-2, 11-1) 67-51 to come to within one game of the Knights and remain hopeful for a co-championship. The ’63 team finished 15-4 overall and 7-1 in the nine-team NLL. Rossford, which had a 12-game winning streak coming in, was always the team to beat. The Bulldog’s regular season margin of victory was 12 points per game. “That was our big game,” Richard Sanderson, coach of the ’63 team, said. “I don’t know if it was misfortune or what you want to call it, but Elmwood had beaten us a couple weeks before in overtime, so we had to beat Rossford. “We played them here, and I’m very proud of our team in that game. That was probably the most fun game for me as a coach. I really did not have to do much coaching that game. Everything was set, the kids were motivated, and we beat them, 6446. It was not a close game and everything fell in place.” Six-foot-1 senior forward Frank DeFalco led Wood County’s Class AA schools in scoring, according to a Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune chart, at 19 points per game and was a first team All-NLL selection. “Frank DeFalco positioned himself to be a good rebounder, but naturally he had a nice, soft jump shot, which he did probably 70 percent of his total scoring, which was a lot of the offense,” Sanderson said. DeFalco explained, “That was only because I had good players around me. They would focus on me and we would throw underneath to (6-2½ junior center) Frank Mihalik, so they couldn’t do a lot of things, so it gave a lot of opportunity for me to score from the outside. It was a good combination of kids and players.” Sanderson added, “We ran a shuffle offense, and it was the 10, 12, 15 foot jumper that came out of the offense. We practiced the jump shot all the time. Tim Eckel was a little farther out with a different jump shot, and (5-10 sophomore starting guard) Pat Lutman was a great shooter, and Frank Mihalik had a good short jump shot — he was a big guy under the basket and got a lot of rebound shots.” Eckel, a 6-2½ senior guard, was second team All-NLL and Mihalik was eighth in the county at 11.5 points. Three of the team’s members are in Lake’s Athletic Hall of Fame —DeFalco, Mihalik, and 6-1 junior center Mike Fox. Other players listed on the varsity were seniors Jim Colville, Gail Smith, Terry Carr, Dennis Asman, Doug Rublaitus, Ed Sundermeier and juniors Dan Taylor and Mike Jared. “First of all, the team had great chemistry,” said Sanderson. “From the very beginning at the opening day of practice, there was a sense of knowingness, a sense of camaraderie in the team, and they just projected that through the whole season. It didn’t make any difference whether it was practice sessions or games or competition. “The other thing about the team was in the championship year, they had actually had a lot of depth. We were just about eight or nine from the previous team, so we had a lot of returning veterans. They just had a tremendous desire to compete and to win.

side,” DeFalco continued. “You don’t see kids hardly at all today shoot with that kind of arch on the ball. They were real high — really high. He would shoot from the top of the key and you’d think, ‘My God, is that ball ever coming down?’ “Tim Eckel was a guy who played really well underneath and Frank Mihalik —

those guys contributed tremendously and they really handled the ball well. We were lucky. For us to become co-champions that year was pretty good, and playing the cochampions here was a pretty big thrill.” Sanderson arrived at the reunion from his current home 50 miles north of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Eckel traveled from his home in Atlanta, and every player minus four was in attendance at the reunion, plus former coaches, managers, and even a cheerleader. Coach Sanderson, who played basketball one year at Ohio Northern University, ran track two years at Bowling Green State University, and became a U.S. Air Force officer before spending 28 years in the Lake school system, said he knew right away the 1963 season was going to go well. In a pre-season scrimmage with Scott, which had a front-line of 6-8, 6-6, and 6-4, the Flyers fared well. “I don’t like to boast, but we handled them pretty easily. It was that Scott scrimmage that just set the tempo for the year,” Sanderson said.

The Press Box Distel named co-coach of year By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Clay gymnastics coach Nick Distel was named Three Rivers Athletic Conference co-coach of the year along with St. Ursula Academy coach Mike McKee, but the Eagles didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the results they wanted. In part because two Clay gymnasts were injured, the Eagles did not defend their league title. Instead, they finished third. Distel said the team had been dealing with injuries all season long. Findlay won the title with 141.9 points, followed by Notre Dame (130.95), Clay (128.45), St. Ursula (119.55), Whitmer (106.36), and Central Catholic (94.2). The meet was held at Exceleration Gymnastic Center in Toledo. Clay gymnast Emilie Roman is first team all-conference, Ashley Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal is second team, and Kayla Dickerson is honorable mention. Findlayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alexa Settlemire is Gymnast of the Year after winning all five events.

Schnitker league champ In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of The Press, an article stated that wrestler Thomas Schnitker, who won a 113 pound Northern Buckeye Conference championship, attended Lake, when he actually is a Woodmore wrestler.

Lady Flyers just keep on winning after slow start By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com At the midway point of the season, the Lake girls’ basketball team stood 3-8 overall and 1-4 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. Now, the Lady Flyers stand at 11-10 and 9-4 in the NBC, good enough to be tied for second place with Woodmore and Rossford. They are three games behind league leader Elmwood, which has clinched an outright title. Lake’s turnaround from the start of the season can be traced back to getting used to playing under new coach Jim Gracyk’s system and, secondly, replacing the production lost by graduated seniors. The Flyers, who have won four consecutive league titles, lost Hannah Cox, Hunter Johnson and Lindsay Hoffman to graduation and dealt with early season injuries. The starting lineup features Taylor (5-6) and Catie Phalen (5-5) and in the backcourt, Alyssa Shaffer (5-9) at small forward and Sarah Dabney (5-10) and Ana Henneman (5-10) in the post. The bench consists of Sumer Woodruff (5-8), Katie Swartz (5-9), Alexis Hansen (57), McKenzie Brittenham (5-5) and Peyton Marchetto (5-9). Woodruff, who plays down in the post or out on the wing, has been the most consistent contributor off the bench this year. Under former coach Denny Meyer, the Flyers employed a more deliberate style of play. Under Gracyk, who, in 17 seasons as Eastwood’s top man went 300-97 and won 10 Suburban Lakes League titles, Lake looks to speed the game up with his full court press and aggressive play. “Instead of calling it an up-tempo game,” Grayck said, “I prefer to say that we’re trying to make the other team play at an uncomfortable speed. (Teams) don’t practice playing that way. We just want to keep pressure on the other team — we know we’re going to give up an easy basket here and there, (but) we’re making them create on the fly. We want to make it tough on the other team. It usually makes for an entertaining game.” Point guard Jordyn Taylor has benefited from the change of pace. “This year is a lot more fast-paced both offensively and defensively,” said Taylor, the team’s leading scorer. “On defense, our goal is to press teams and wear them out (with) intense ball pressure and by trapping. We have to trust each other to be in the right spot or else our defense falls apart. We try to create our offense from our defense, so everybody chips in.” Perhaps the turning point came during a brutal four game stretch in late December when the Flyers faced Anthony Wayne, Central Catholic, Whitmer and Fostoria St. Wendelin, one of the area’s better Division

The Flyers lost all four, but endured growing pains that appear to have set them straight. Since then, Lake has gone 7-2, including 7-1 in the league, with its only losses coming to Elmwood and Port Clinton, both of whom are 16-3. Most recently, the Flyers defeated Woodmore, 56-52, in overtime, rallying to turn a four point deficit into a three point lead in the extra session after the Wildcats sent the game into overtime late in the fourth quarter. Phalen led the way with 18 points and Woodruff chipped in with 12. “It was a really big win,” Taylor said. “It was really intense, very crazy. Beating Woodmore put us in a tie with them and Rossford for second place in the league. Woodmore is a good team, so I think beating them boosted our confidence. Now we are just focusing on finishing the season out strong and getting ready for the tournament.”

Needless to say, Gracyk was impressed with his team’s play in crunch time. “Probably the most satisfying thing was watching them perform the last two minutes of the Woodmore game,” he said. “We were down with 2:15 to go and we hit four 3-pointers on four straight possessions. That’s a sign that the kids are starting to buy into the way we want them to play.” “The kids get tons of credit and taking the shots. Every one of those shots were dead on, they were nothing but the bottom of the net. That was a really good sign. We’re making progress.” Shaffer, the lone senior, has been around for much of the Flyers’ impressive four year run and is looking to leave behind a legacy while sustaining the program’s success. During Shaffer’s three years at Lake, the Flyers have gone 60-9 (.870), won three league titles and advanced to the regional semifinals in 2011. Quite possibly

the most impressive achievement was the 61-game regular season winning streak the team had dating back to 2009. “I try to pick (my teammates) up when they are down,” said Shaffer, who is the club’s second-leading scorer. “If I see a certain look (from the other team), I’ll tell them about it. I like to have fun so I’m always trying to make them laugh and just enjoy playing the game, but at the same time, I know when to be serious and I’m not afraid to get on somebody when they make a costly mistake.” Shaffer credits former teammates Kaysie Brittenham and Carly Huston with helping to show her the way when she was an underclassmen. “I definitely learned a lot from Kaysie and Carly my sophomore year,” Shaffer said. “Carly still helps me out by giving me some pointers. I’ve just learned how hard you have to work to have a great team.”

Comets can’t get over hump By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Genoa junior guard Ciara Albright and the rest of her teammates are just as frustrated as their head coach, Mike DeStazio, with the way this season has panned out. The Comets took a 7-13 record, including a 3-10 mark in the Northern Buckeye Conference, into Thursday night’s game at Fostoria. Genoa’s latest loss was Monday night against rival Elmwood. “We play hard every game, but sometimes we can’t get over the hump,” Albright said. “We’ll play hard the first half and not as hard the second half. We’ll play bad the first half and then play better in the second half and not get the win. It’s frustrating, but we stick together. We feel like we can’t go hard the whole four quarters. We’re trying to figure that out.” The Comets graduated four seniors from last year’s team and start a freshman, Haley Pickard, at point guard this season. Genoa connected on seven 3-pointers Monday against Elmwood, but the Royals had nine. “The kids are working their tails off,” DeStazio said. “We just can’t get a win. We had some tough losses early on, and probably five or six games we’ve been in the game or had the lead at some point. What happens is, you need to win a couple of those games to have the kids believe they can win those games. We have inexperience in close games and I’m not sure how you get that without winning close games.” While the Comets won’t claim the NBC championship this season, they have two players who will likely end up leading the conference in scoring and rebounding. The 5-foot-7 Albright leads the NBC in scoring at 15.8 points a game despite being held to nine on Monday by an Elmwood squad that played her with a box-and-one defense. Teammate Brynn Skilliter, a junior post, leads the conference in rebounding with a 9.5 average. Skilliter has been surprised with the season she’s had grabbing errant shots, especially since she stands just 5-8 soaking wet. She said winning the NBC rebounding title would mean a lot. “It wasn’t a goal at the beginning of the season,” she said. “I wanted to be the best player I can be, and I found out that rebounding came naturally to me. I think that’s my role to contribute to the team. Being able to get rebounds for the team is a great feeling. I’m only 5-8, and there are girls in the league who are six feet tall. There are a lot of good

rebounders. I was shocked when I found out about halfway through (the season) that I was leading the league.” Skilliter is by no means a scorer. She only averages one point per game, but she has 50 steals in 19 games this season. “My defensive game is more important,” Skilliter said. “I try to let the other girls get the points and I try to get assists for 3-pointers.” Skilliter grabbed 16 rebounds against Elmwood this season and she had 15 against Lakota and 14 against Lake. She had 13 rebounds against both Woodmore and Fostoria. “She’s an animal on the boards,” DeStazio said. “She’s athletic, strong, quick. I’ve seen her take the ball from three people. She’ll do everything you ask. She’s a coach’s player and you don’t want to take that for granted. You want to appreciate it.” Skilliter said her rebounding prowess is a combination of anticipating where the ball is going to come off the rim and boxing out her opponents. “I try to anticipate and be aggressive and think no one’s going to take that ball from me,” she said. “It’s mine, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get it.” Albright’s success carrying the scoring load hasn’t been a surprise. She averaged a team-high 12.5 points a game last year and was a first-team All-NBC and second-team all-district selection. Albright is also averaging 5.5 rebounds to go with 86 steals and 58 assists through 20 games. She scored a career-high 31 points against Lakota and pumped in 27 against Lake. “Most of my points come from defense in transition,” Albright said. “They don’t really start off on offense. I’m on the top of our press and I take the ball to the bucket a lot and I get fouled a lot, and I make a lot of free throws. Last summer all I did was shoot free throws in the back yard. I shot like 20-30 percent last year, and this year I’m around 65 percent.” DeStazio said he’d like to see Albright become more of a threat to score from outside, but he’s not complaining. Albright pretty much plays every position on the floor. “She’s had a tremendous season,” DeStazio said. “She’s definitely one of the better players in the league. We’re not real big and we try to get the ball down the floor as much as we can on layups and steals. I don’t care if there are three people back defensively, Ciara has the ability to finish and that’s something rare in girls basketball. She knows where the rim is.”
