Reeves hurt attempting to break up fight

Job description didn’t include this By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com A lot of things aren’t written into a high school athletic director’s job description. One of them is breaking up a “disagreement” in the stands between students and/or alleged adults. Terry Reeves, a lifelong Oregon resident who is in serving his fourth term on Oregon City Council, is in his fifth year as the athletic director at Bowsher. On Dec. 20, in the Rebels’ home boys basketball game against City League rival Scott, Reeves saw a ruckus in the stands in the third quarter and took action. “It was the last day of school before Christmas break,” Reeves recalled. “There were some people up in the stands who were let in a different door than they should have been and they went up on our side. I guess this happened at halftime. They started getting a little rowdy with some of our fans. They weren’t all kids. Nineteen

people were arrested and probably only four of them were kids.” Reeves, a former state-tournament wrestler who now weighs more than 300 pounds, was in the hallway and looked through the gym doors and saw what was happening. Terry Reeves There were eight security officers on hand, but Reeves took off anyway. “There were people rushing out of the stands onto the floor,” he said. “I made sure the teams were off the court, and the officials. I took off up the steps towards one of our kids and I got bumped into by a couple students who were tying to get away from the situation. They weren’t involved in the fight. I went down to my right knee and my left foot was about two steps ahead.” Reeves, 55, tore a quad muscle that, at

that moment, he said, “sounded just like a gun going off.” He was in a leg brace until recently and is still going to physical therapy. “The injury I had, the doctor said if I was an athlete it would be at least a year before I could get back on the playing field,” Reeves said. “It’s probably going to be a year and a half for me.” Athletics in his blood Reeves isn’t an athlete anymore, but he was. A good one, too. The 1977 Cardinal Stritch grad was a two-year starter in football with the Cardinals, as a center his sophomore and junior year and a starting offensive tackle as a senior. He was inducted into the Cardinal Stritch Hall of Fame in 2012 along with the rest of the Cardinals’ 1975 state playoff team, coached by Tom Greer. Reeves was a three-year letterman in wrestling and was a two-time state tournament qualifier, placing sixth at heavyContinued on page 2

Days after losing officer Jose Chavez to an act of violence, members of the Elmore Police Department were still trying to come to terms with the sudden death of the man known as Andy to friends and colleagues. “I don’t think the reality has set in around here yet,” Chief George Hayes said Wednesday. Hayes said he received a call at 3 a.m. notifying him of the shooting of the 26-year-old Chavez. Chavez was off duty and belatedly celebrating his birthday at a tavern March 9 in Fremont when he and two others were shot and killed during an altercation. With only four full-time and three parttime officers on the Elmore department’s roster, the impact of the loss of Chavez has been profound, the chief said. “He was an excellent officer with a good personality,” Hayes said. “He was a well liked individual.” A statement issued by Sgt. Jeffrey Harrison the day of the shooting describe Chavez as “an exemplary officer in good standing with the department.” Chavez lived in Woodville with his wife and two children. He was an auxiliary member of the Woodville Police Department and worked full-time with a private security firm in Toledo before joining the Elmore department as a full-time officer in January 2012. “He would have gone far,” Chief Hayes said. “He was well educated and very articulate.” The chief described Chavez as his “go-to man” for the funeral procession last October for former Elmore mayor Lowell Krumnow. “He was on the motor scooter and was able to get wherever we needed him to be for traffic control or crowd control. He got around a lot better on that thing than I could have,” Hayes said. Like many of the officers in the department, Chavez found conducting investigations of crimes an especially interesting part of his job, the chief said.

Continued from front page weight as a senior in 1977. He also lettered one year in track and field. Reeves graduated from the University of Toledo with a degree in special education, and taught for 14 years, including stints at East Toledo and East Broadway middle schools as a seventh grade special ed teacher. “I started coaching freshman football and wrestling in the fall of 1977 at Cardinal Stritch,” Reeves said. “Tom Greer gave me the opportunity. He wanted some people on staff and asked if I was interested. I coached 31 years of high school football and wrestling. Basically I wanted to be around the young men and try to help them succeed in the classroom, on the playing field and in life as well.” Reeves coached basketball at Start for three years before moving to coach Bowsher’s boys basketball team from 198894. He was also an assistant wrestling coach for the Rebels during that period. “After Bowsher, I got into teaching on the east side,” Reeves said. “A job opened up at Waite. My brother-in-law (Carmen Amenta) was the head coach at Waite and I was a football assistant for 12 or 13 years. I coached at Stritch for a year, then went to Rossford for three years. I was still coaching wrestling at Stritch when I was coaching football. “I decided to run for city council, so I couldn’t commit the time for high school football anymore. I became the head football coach at Eisenhower, then I got the AD job (at Bowsher).” Reeves said he enjoys his role as athletic director. “I love being around the kids and helping them out and giving them a positive experience at school, other than academics,” he said, adding that he misses coaching “tremendously.” “I love being outdoors,” said Reeves, who was a wrestling official for more than 25 years. “Football’s always been my first love. I wrestled because my parents (Jim and Carol) enjoyed it so much and I wanted to stay in shape for football. I miss coaching wrestling in the (practice) room, but I don’t miss the long (tournament) weekends.” Reeves was elected to Oregon city council in 2007 and won his fourth term last November. Reeves, who grew up on Coy Road and still resides in Oregon, said he ran for office because “I thought some things in the city weren’t going the correct way and I wanted to see if I could make a change, and I think I have.”

He said his background as an athlete and coach has been a benefit in his role as a councilman. “It gives you the ability to be able to listen to problems and solve situations before it gets too far out of hand,” Reeves said. “I’ve always said that I’ve spent my whole life defending people against bullies and things like that. I want to do what’s right and make sure people are happy with things going on with our (Oregon) sports programs and roads and what their taxes are spent on. If if doesn’t work out, it bothers me.” As councilman, Reeves serves as chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee and serves on both the Public Utilities & Environmental and Water & Sewer committees. He and his wife of 27 years, Diane, have two daughters, Samantha, 24, and

Monica, 22, and three grandsons. “My wife is a wonderful lady,” said Reeves, who wakes at 5 a.m. each morning and is one of the first school personnel to get to Bowsher every day. “We have never had an argument or a fight. Part of the reason, I think, is I’m never home enough.” Reeves said his job as athletic director is made much easier with the help of assistant athletic director Mike Jewell. Reeves said he sometimes doesn’t leave the school until after 11 p.m. if there is a home athletic event. “I could not do this job without Mike and his family, and my wife is so supportive,” Reeves said. “She comes to all the games, works the games for me, and that’s a lot of quality time I get to spend with her at games. Mike is a great guy to have on your staff.”

Oak Harbor

Tight finances are forcing Oak Harbor Village Council to consider possible elimination or reduction of the village’s income tax credit. Currently, the village collects a 1 percent income tax from village residents who live and work in the village. People who live in the village but work in communities where another tax is collected are exempt from the tax The income tax dates back to 1971 and, last year brought in a little more than $680,000, according to tax administrator Kim Mehlow. The village, however, continues to struggle to keep its finances in the black as major projects such as a combined overflow sewer system revamp and other utility line replacements loom. As a result, leaders are exploring a number of ways of increasing revenues to offset expenses. Councilman Don Douglas, head of the finance committee, has suggested it’s time council reconsider the income tax credit. That is, those residents now exempt from the tax could possibly be responsible for paying all or a portion of the tax. “I want to paint a clear picture,� Douglas said. He offered three possible options: Hiking the tax rate, eliminating the

tax credit or reducing the amount of the credit. Eliminating the tax credit completely would mean an additional $166,000 annually, fiscal officer Debbie Carpenter said. How many people a tax change would affect was not known. Councilman Jim Seaman isn’t opposed to a possible tax credit change, he said. “But,� he added, “We need to be diligent in making cuts before we put more burden on village residents. Last appropriations, we had no cuts.� “You’re right,� Douglas replied. “This year, the only thing we did was approve a $20,000 increase in health insurance costs.� Council entertains the final reading of the 2014 permanent appropriations at its March 17 meeting. The legislation calls for about $11 million in total appropriations, with $1.8 million for daily operations and salaries. To fend off budget problems for now, Carpenter and Interim administrator Randy Genzman scrutinize expense requests together on daily basis. “Randy has turned a lot of requests down,� Carpenter said. Village solicitor Jim Barney cautioned that any revisions would not provide immediate relief. Changes cannot be retroactive, he explained. He also noted he had

spoke to Mehlow regarding complications involved in trying to set up half year and quarter year collections. Realistically, Barney said, legislation changes passed this year would take effect in January 2015. Collections would begin in 2016. Council decided to hold off on a decision until more information can be collected. Seaman emphasized there was no reason to rush to a decision without weighing all the facts. “Even if we do it today, we don’t see any cash until 2016.� “Everything moves slow here,� Councilman Jon Fickert countered. “That’s nothing new.� Area landlord Adam Snyder asked if the village had considered annexing other properties to help bring more revenue into the village in a variety of ways. “It’s a consent issue,� Barney said. “The people have to want to be in the village.� Mayor Bill Eberle explained that annexations also had to involve parcels immediately adjacent to village corporation limits. “You can’t jump over a piece of land,� he added, noting some subdivision residents have expressed interest in the past.

Effective Monday, March 17 through November, both directions of I-280 between Ayers and Woodville roads will be reduced to one lane with an 11-foot lane width for bridge work, Ohio Department of Transportation District Two reports. Addition, March 17 through June, the ramp from Walbridge Road to northbound I-280 will be closed. The posted detour will be southbound I-280-eastbound SR-795. The project is expected to be completed in November. All work is weather-permitting.

Event to raise money for families

Andy Rakay’s bell to be rung for fallen firefighters By Jeffrey D. Norwalk Press Contributing Writer news@presspublications.com When longtime International Boxing Club president Andrew Rakay passed away after suffering a stroke at age 80 in 2010, IBC founder and best friend Harry Cummins, along with the rest of the gym’s family, honored their pal by retiring the sacred gold bell that Rakay used to keep time with during the gym’s many amateur boxing bouts. It will be displayed on an IBC wall for all to see and remember. However, on March 22, 2014 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., that carefully-preserved bell will be taken down and pressed into service one more time. Only on this occasion, it won’t be used to ring in the start of another boxing show, or to signal the end of a round, but instead to sound a traditional “last alarm” for fallen Toledo firefighters Stephan A. Machcinski and James A. Dickman, who were killed in the line of duty while battling an apartment fire near downtown Toledo on January 26. “That’s the way Andrew, a lifelong Toledo firefighter himself, and a giving man with a tireless passion for helping others, would’ve wanted it,” Cummins said. In the boxing world, a final 10-count is often done for boxers killed in the ring or for greats of the sport who have passed away. This time, the IBC will ring it for the firefighters as part of a fundraising event, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the late firefighters’ families. “I’ll be taking Andrew’s bell back down off the wall, and doing a final 10-count with it, and that will be Andrew’s way of performing a ‘last Alarm’ for his fellow fallen firefighters as he looks down on our event,” explains Cummins.

The event is dubbed the Fallen Firefighters Craft Show & Expo. In addition to the symbolic “Last Alarm/Final 10-Count” ceremony, promoters are expecting surviving Toledo firefighting veterans and their families to be in attendance for the day-long Andy Rakay event, which will also feature active Toledo firefighters representing T-Town’s 18 station houses via a chili cook-off. Area artisans will be on hand to display their wares in an eclectic, 100-vendor craft show, as will country music radio station K100 and disc jockey Tony Acevedo of the Toledo-based DJ service, the Four Aces. In IBC fundraising style, there will also be a silent auction. True-blue heroes Cummins, a boxing coach and promoter, calls the late Private Machcinski and Private Dickman “true-blue Toledo heroes,” and adds that he’s always possessed a respect for the men and women of the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department and all that they’ve done and sacrificed throughout the TFD’s rich 177-year history. He says the respect was ingrained

within him from all those years of proudly calling former TFD Captain Andrew Rakay “a brother and best friend.” “Andrew became a firefighter in 1960, and was actually one of the first firemen on the scene of another tragic Toledo fire, the Anthony Wayne Trail fire, after a gasoline tanker turned over, and burst into flames near downtown Toledo,” shares Cummins. The infamous June 10, 1961 disaster on the trail saw four other Toledo firefighters lose their lives while fighting the historic blaze which destroyed nearby homes. It injured 80 people, at least 30 of whom were children, and choked downtown in thick, black smoke, all resulting from the violent explosion of nearly 8,000 gallons of gas. “Then, in ‘71, he became a captain, and later retired as a captain from Station No. 3 at Bush and Erie in ‘82,” Cummins said. “Throughout his career, Andrew served as president of the Firefighters Union, and was credited for fighting for better working conditions for Toledo firefighters. He brought his bell over to the gym from his retirement from the department, and used it during our amateur boxing bouts when he became our timekeeper. “From our IBC board members, to our young boxers, to our tutors over in the learning center, to our coaches, this will be the IBC’s way of donating our facility, and giving back to our fallen firefighters, and really all of the local firefighters for the selfless service they provide to our communities,” says Cummins.

Homelessness forum The Sandusky County Homeless Coalition will conduct a public forum on homelessness in Fremont Thursday, March 27, at 5:30 p.m. at the Sandusky County Department of Job and Family Services. The coalition conducted its first public forum in 2004; each forum seeks to address the growing issues of homelessness in the area. “It’s really important that the community is aware of the problem and takes steps to address it,” said Ragan Claypool, a member of the coalition and supportive services coordinator at WSOS. “I don’t think the community is aware of the number of children locally who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. “ The forum, which will be facilitated by the Sandusky County Homeless Coalition, seeks to involve all county government officials, leaders of cities, villages and townships within the county, and all leaders of organizations who serve the homeless. Anyone interested in homelessness issues are encouraged to attend. For more information or to RSVP call Margaret Weisz, Sandusky County Homeless Coalition Chairperson, at 419-332-8777.

Woodville Twp.

Paul Heineman: from fire chief to trustee By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Although he’s retired as chief of the Woodville Township Volunteer Fire Department, Paul Heineman is still spending time at the fire station on E. Main Street – as a township trustee. Heineman, who’d been chief of the department since 1991 and a member since 1963, won a seat on the Woodville Township board of trustees in the November election. Although he didn’t see a problem with holding both the chief’s post and a trustee seat, the other trustees saw a possible conflict of interest. So Heineman agreed to relinquish the chief’s office, which is located across the hall from the room where the trustees hold their meetings. “Time goes fast,” Heineman said of his years with the department. “When I first became captain of the rescue unit we were using basic American Red Cross first aid. Things have evolved over the years and now we’re emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Even the firefighter level training has expanded substantially over the years. We also have to have continuing education credits now in both the fire service and emergency medical service. “It’s really hard to expect the volunteers to do all this because so many have families and have to have two incomes. But we have dedicated people. Our roster now is about 32 on average.”

William Andrews, the department’s assistant chief and a member of the department for more than 20 years, was named to replace Heineman. “He’s relatively new to the book work. So I’m helping him out. I’m still on the department roster but more behind the scenes. The department is in a good position as far as equipment. We’ve been pro-active in that over the years and methodically replaced older equipment.” Community support of the department’s pancake and sausage breakfast – a tradition in town since around 1980 – as well as other fundraisers has helped the department with many of the equipment purchases. “The people have been very generous to us over the years,” Heineman said. “Several people routinely donate to the breakfast and farmers give us hogs for the sausage. The Fremont Federal Credit Union sponsors a breakfast for us every year and pays for all our supplies. That type of support is extremely gratifying.” The department recently launched a new fire safety program that will include inspectors making visits to local businesses. “That’s going to be a big, big plus,” Heineman said. “We’ve been building on it for quite some time. We had to lay the legal groundwork first and adopt the Ohio Building Code. After that our fire inspectors got their training and they’re still training. They’ve been going out and doing some public speaking at business association

meetings and explaining what we’re going to be doing. We’re giving fire extinguisher training and it’s been very well received.” As of last week, Heineman had about four meetings as a trustee under his belt. He reasoned his experience as a chief and a business owner – he operated a funeral home for more than 35 years - would be a good background for the office of trustee. “I know something about budgets and financing,” he said. “I thought maybe I could do some good. I’m still feeling my way along and looking the township budget over.” Even his early days as a funeral director gave him a vantage point into emergency medical service. That was a time when hearses doubled as ambulances by switching a few pins in the back so they could accommodate stretchers instead of coffins. “For 28 years I ran an ambulance from the funeral service,” Heineman said. “Then the federal government started the Medicare program and they required a different type of vehicle and training.” The department recently recognized him for his years of service with a tribute dinner. “It was very humbling and very much appreciated,” he said. “They did some really nice things for me and my wife.” Matt Hasenfratz, a firefighter/paramedic with the department, called Heineman “a huge asset to our department, town/ township and at the county level.”

Local jewelry artist honored with solo show in Maine Award-winning jewelry artist Amy Beeler, of Oregon, is the first jewelry artist to be honored with a solo exhibition at the University of Maine Museum of Art. The show opens April 3 and runs through June 7. The 21-piece exhibition, “Passion and Adornment,” features some of the most intense, innovative and visually dramatic work of Beeler’s career, she said. “What’s most intriguing is that Beeler encourages us to question the notion of jewelry and adornment,” said George Kinghorn, director of the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor. “They are sculptures masquerading as wearable pieces. Above all, the exhibition investigates the idea of jewelry as sculpture, as art object.” Kinghorn discovered Beeler’s work while serving as a judge at the 2013 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa, Fla., at which Beeler received the prestigious Anniversary Award. Beeler graduated from Bowling Green University in Ohio in 2000 with a B.F.A. in studio art. She is a 10-year veteran of the art fair circuit, and her work has appeared in galleries and group exhibitions across the country. Locally, she has won Best of Show awards at the University of Toledo’s Art On The Mall and the Upper Arlington Festival; an Award of Excellence at the Columbus Winterfair; and awards at the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green and the

Museum of Art. Her work also is displayed at The Collector’s Corner at the Toledo Museum of Art and at the River House gallery in Perrysburg.

Beeler works primarily in silver, using the lost-wax casting method, in which she uses seed pods to cast her pieces. Her work is heavily influenced by nature and captures the interplay between the dynamic forms and intricate details of plants, seed pods and other organic materials. “As much as I like the idea of being a big-city kind of girl, I am still a farm kid at heart,” said Beeler. “Nature helps me express myself. I’ve always found that using the seed pods give a depth to my work. There is a part of a seed pod that is so in tune with how I want to express human emotions -- beauty, fear, a multitude of other ideas.” Although most of her art fair work focuses on strictly functional pieces, her latest gallery pieces trend in a more abstract, sculptural direction. “I was at a crossroads with my work – wearable pieces for the art fairs versus larger conceptual pieces – and was inspired by this opportunity to expand my work,” Beeler said. “Each of the pieces for this show needed to make its own statement – to stand strong and alone, almost as a sculpture. “This opportunity came along at the perfect time, and I am truly grateful,” she said. “Having my work in a solo exhibition at a museum of art is a dream come true.” View her work, including pieces that will be exhibited in Maine, on her website, www.amybeeler.com.

Transportation discussed By Press Staff Writer

Genoa may have new police chief soon By Cynthia L. Jacoby Special to The Press

The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments will hold a public meeting March 20 at the East Toledo Senior Center, 1001 White Street, to offer area residents the chance to voice their opinions on a long-range transportation plan the council is formulating. The meeting will be from 12:301:30 p.m. TMACOG is updating the plan “On the Move: 2015-2045 Transportation Plan� – a prioritized listed of projects and policies – for Lucas and Wood counties in Ohio and southern Monroe County in Michigan. Among the goals for the plan are improved road safety and infrastructure conditions and reduced traffic congestion. The scheduled completion date of the plan is July 1, 2015. TMACOG is also posting a survey on its website to solicit input on what residents see as priorities for future investment into the region’s transportation systems. The survey uses a rating system, from extremely important to no opinion, to ask residents their opinions of transportation issues. The meeting is being hosted by the East Toledo Club and Neighborhood Housing Services of Toledo. Lunch can be purchased at noon. For reservation information call Jodi at 419 691-1429.

The Village of Genoa has trimmed its list of candidates for police chief down to two men. A council committee has already interviewed Brad Weis, a Toledo Police Department captain, and is expected to interview Chad Milner, an Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office deputy, on Thursday, according to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. Weis has a number of other ties to Ottawa County. The Oak Harbor resident is also a current member of Oak Harbor Village Council. And Milner already has a history with Genoa, having served as police chief until 2008 when he left to become a sheriff’s deputy. The two were among the three final candidates selected by consultant Mark Putnam from the pool of applicants formed

following the resignation of former Genoa Police Chief Bob Bratton in January. The third person, Mike McGee, dropped out during the search process after taking a job with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the administrator said. Gladden, who is not part of the search committee, said he was unsure when the committee hoped to have a new police chief hired. The decision, however, could come as soon as Monday when village council meets at town hall for its regular second meeting of the month. Meanwhile, the police department has been overseen by interim Police Chief Todd Mocniak. The scheduling process turned a little more difficult last week when officer Kevin Miller left the department to take a job with an area casino, Gladden said. Part-time officers are helping fill those patrolling niches, he said. Bratton resigned in the wake of a

theft in office scandal during his tenure as Ottawa County sheriff. According to an audit, he used more than $5,000 of Furtherance of Justice Funds on personal items such as clothing and prescription drugs as well as Cedar Point tickets to reward underprivileged children. The federal monies are issued to sheriff departments to help staff in law enforcement operations. The mishandling of funds was found during a 2012 audit conducted by Ohio Secretary of State David Yost’s office. Bratton, who cooperated throughout the audit, paid back the money as well as the costs for the investigation. The Ottawa County prosecutor’s office decided not to file charges. However, months later, the Cleveland office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reopened the case and filed a single felony charge against Bratton in U.S. District Court. Bratton pleaded guilty Jan. 29. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

Recognize what’s important in life Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

“

Getting upset over things that don’t really matter is a conditioned response developed over many years.

“

How many of life’s so-called disasters are actually worthy of your time, energy, and emotions? It’s so easy to get worked up over some issue that ultimately fades to insignificance over time. It’s a waste to get caught up in turmoil over issues that don’t really matter in the long, or even short term. The smallest incident has the potential to be upsetting. Actions of close family and friends can be extremely irritating. This is because you have become conditioned to be triggered by behavior that has a tendency to get under your skin. There are certain behaviors you are highly sensitive to, regardless of the source. Even complete strangers have the ability to produce a deleterious effect on you. Always keep in mind that you have no control over someone else’s behavior, but you do have total control over your response. Driving your car encapsulates the essence of this concept. It is an excellent opportunity to practice your assessment of what really matters. The paramount issue while behind the wheel is your safety. Becoming embroiled in any altercation with rude or inconsiderate drivers has no upside. So, regardless of what another driver does, it doesn’t really matter. You have nothing to prove and any attempt to teach them a lesson starts a downward spiral. You can get worked up at any time and any place, even when you are supposed to be relaxing and having fun. Here are just some examples. At the movies, a really tall person sits in front of you. You go out for dinner and are served by an inattentive waiter. Your children are unruly. At a social event, you get into an argument with some

of your friends. You and your spouse get into an argument over which color to use for painting the living room. Bad weather has ruined your plans for the weekend. Perhaps some of these examples seem idiotic, but it is astounding how many people become embroiled in negative emotions over stuff that doesn’t really matter. Looking back, they may not remember why they got so upset, if they even remember the incident at all. For instance, there are people who have not talked to family members or friends for years on end and can’t tell you why. Getting upset over things that don’t really matter is a conditioned response developed over many years. Since nothing will be gained by becoming upset, it’s to your

advantage to alter your response. To do this requires a shift in perspective. You need to appreciate what is really important and valuable in your life. First and foremost is your well-being, both mentally and physically. Undue stress from emotional upheavals over stuff that doesn’t matter takes a measurable toll. Symptoms include anger, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure, ulcers, a lowered immune system, along with eating and sleep disorders. Not only is your health constantly worn down, your agitation has a negative impact on those around you. Your becoming agitated will not make anything better. This approach actually causes you to feel worse as your ability to think clearly drops, while your level of anxiety elevates. The next time you are faced with an upsetting situation is an opportunity to practice altering your strategy. Instead of getting worked up the way you normally would, ask yourself, “Does this really matter?” Since the answer is invariably, “No,” let it roll off your back without getting under your skin.

A sweet, healthy victory in labeling By Jill Richardson The Food and Drug Administration recently came out with a sweet surprise. Its proposed new nutrition label will finally give us a bit of key information we need to understand our food: the amount of added sugars. If you look at a nutrition label now, you will see how many grams of sugar are in a serving of your food. That includes all sugars. It counts the lactose in milk and naturally occurring sugars from fruit. The nutritionally important bit of info for most of us is not total sugars, but added sugars — which include the sweetener we call “sugar” plus others like high-fructose corn syrup and honey. In addition to the blueberries and the yogurt in your blueberry yogurt, how much sugar did the manufacturer add? If you’re trying to pick the healthiest yogurt or granola bar, that’s a fact you need to know. OK, so every breakfast cereal in the aisle has some sugar added to it, but do the 19 grams of sugar in Kellogg’s Raisin Bran come from the raisins or from sugar and high-fructose corn syrup? How does it stack up against Froot Loops, which only has 12 grams of sugar but no fruit at all? Until now, the simplest way to do this was something nobody will try at home. You can count the number of raisins per serving of Raisin Bran and then calculate the amount of sugar in them. And, as it

Guest Editorial turns out, the cereal is actually full of added sugars. More than two decades ago, the nutrition activist group Center for Science in the Public Interest asked the government to include “Added Sugars” on nutrition labels. The government refused. Why? Because it might confuse consumers. The activist group tried again in 1999. That year, sugar consumption hit an alltime high. Yet again, the answer was no. In 2013, with First Lady Michelle Obama calling the nation’s attention to the catastrophic state of our diets, it was time to try again. And — just recently — the Food and Drug Administration agreed. It’s ridiculous that it took two decades for the government to side with consumers over the interests of the food industry, but thank goodness our leaders came to their senses. At least on this one issue. The nutrition advice you’ve probably heard on sugar involves phrases like “empty calories” and “eat sparingly.” The conventional wisdom was that added sugars were bad simply because they contributed calories to your diet without any nutrition.

As for the advice about eating it “sparingly,” that’s not what we do here in the United States, where about 15 percent of our calories come from sugar. In truth, added sugar’s more than just an empty calorie. It’s harmful to your body in a number of ways, and eating too much can increase your risk of contracting diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and more serious illnesses. The good news is, once the new nutrition labels take effect, you’ll at least be able to know how much you’re eating. Going by the American Heart Association’s recommendations, women should stick to six teaspoons (25 grams) or less, and men to nine teaspoons (38 grams) or less. Hopefully, food companies will be as eager to claim their products are low in added sugars as they were to claim “zero trans fats” when that went on the label. Successfully reducing sugar consumption to healthier levels, even with labeling, will be no picnic in the toxic food environment we live in. The real change will come if — or when — food companies decide to remove heaps of the sweet stuff from our food instead of admitting to obscene amounts of it on their labels. And that will be a sweet victory for health. OtherWords columnist Jill Richardson is the author of Recipe for America: Why Our Food System Is Broken and What We Can Do to Fix It.

Save schools To the editor: The Eastwood Committee to Save Our Elementaries will be attending the Eastwood Board of Eductaion meeting on March 17 in the high school library. The board meeting begins at 7 p.m., and the group will meet about 10 minutes before. The committee plans to ask the board of education to hold off any spending of money or decisions related to a central campus elementary or any new construction until the committee has time to meet with the board and share information that it has collected. The committee organized in an effort to stop any levy that would consolidate the Luckey and Pemberville elementary schools into one central campus elementary school. The committee’s slogan is: “We Voted No Twice – No Central Elementary,” and its mission statement is “Supporting the Eastwood School District while maintaining our local village elementaries.” The committee’s goal is to renovate and restore the buildings in Luckey and Pemberville to state-of-the-art facilities at a cost cheaper than a new facility, as has been done throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The Committee to Save Our Elementaries consists of local business people, educators, elected officials, builders and concerned residents from both villages and townships. All interested voters are also invited to attend the next meeting of the committee March 24 at 7 p.m. in the Eagle Room of Pisanello’s Pizza, Pemberville. Residents can also email co-chairs Carol Bailey at carolbailey2012@gmail.com and Crystal Crosby at ccandcrew@hotmail. com to join the committee or to receive the findings and information from the committee.

Oregon Fest 2014 invites you to vote for: People’s Choice - “The Best of Oregon�

Reader's theater Oregon Community Theatre will present its Reader’s Theatre with the Broadway hit “The Good Doctor� written by Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov and directed by Bill Quinlan March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the lower level at the ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, Oregon. The comedic show is a composite of Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov. Reader’s Theatre is a more intimate style of theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines, said cast member Nancy Ice. Rather, they either go through their blocking holding scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. Actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rather than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking. Like storytelling, Reader’s Theatre can create images by suggestion that could never be realistically portrayed on stage. Cast members include Patrick Boyer, Tammy Halay, Renee Harrington, Nancy Ice, Kyle Slagley, Reed Steele and Tom Zulick. Tickets are $5 at the door. Admission is free for OCT season ticketholders. For more information, call 419-691-1398 or go to oregoncommunitytheatre.org.

Family Briefs Young adult binge drinking topic of forum Only one percent of parents believe that his/her teen binge drinks. Brian and Cindy Hoeflinger, of Ottawa Hills, were in the 99 percent who did not know their son would binge with friends. That was a year ago. That was before they got a phone call to get to the hospital as soon as possible. During this past year, the Hoeflingers have become tireless in learning the subculture that supports binge drinking and sharing what they have learned in as many places as possible. Their story was recently featured nationally on the Katie Couric Show, and locally, by Toledo news anchors Jerry Anderson and Diane Larson. In addition to the television interviews, Dr. Hoeflinger wrote a book documenting the topic, “The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking.” On Sunday, March 16 at 3 p.m., the Hoeflingers will be at Woodmore High School to share the story of their son, Brian, with hopes of sparing lives of other teens. This forum is open to all members of the Woodmore and neighboring communities. The school is located at 633 Fremont St., Elmore.

Get Growing

Spice up gardens with new flower, vegetable varieties this year By J.K. DePeal Garden Writer news@presspublications.com March weather is typically unpredictable. One day can have cold, blowing winds with mixes of sleet or snow while the very next day can sparkle with sunshine and mild, spring-like breezes. It almost seems like a seasonal struggle goes on this month between the cold, waning forces of winter and the warm advance of an oncoming spring. Though its allotted time is soon to be over, winter seems determined to prolong its stay as long as it can. Thankfully, the gentle forces of warmer weather are destined to prevail. In March, the stoic bulbs and, soon-to-be emerging perennials in our gardens and yards hold their own in spite of the warring weather. They seem to know that their time of flowering and robust growth is just ahead. As moody as the weather is now, spring will soon be here and the garden planning that we do now will ensure that we are ready for the gardening season just ahead. Officially, winter is about over and somehow the mixture of warm weather,

sunshine, and bird song ahead really stirs up the green thumb in many of us. If you’ve never gardened or haven’t cracked a hoe or wielded a trowel in a while, why not consider growing some flowers or vegetables this year? Try a variety of growing methods in your garden or yard. Grow some things from seed. Zinnias, marigolds and sunflowers are easily grown and do not have special requirements other than adequate sunshine, water, and decent soil. Radishes, spinach and green beans are also easily grown and do not require a lot of space. Along with your seed plants, put in some transplants for immediate colorful beauty. Also, try some summer blooming corms and tubers for later flowering and foliage. Gladiolas along the back of a flower bed will add spiky height and color to your garden in mid-summer. Dahlias are actually easy to grow and offer lots of variety in size and hue, and caladiums are wonderful for splashes of leafy color in shady spots. If you’re an established gardener, you’ve probably been poring over your garden catalogs, which I believe come earlier every year. My first 2014 garden catalog ar-

Pink poodle coneflower rived in November 2013, and Thanksgiving Eve found me drooling over the newly-offered varieties of flowers and vegetables. Now that many more catalogs have come in, I’ve found even more splendid plants that are whetting my gardening appetite. Some of these include “Pink Poodle” coneflower, a fully double bright pink perennial; “Love’s Magic,” a re-blooming, double daylily; and “Cheddar Hybrid,” a cauliflower variety that is chock full of be-

ta-carotene. Be sure and check out the “Indigo Series” hybrid tomatoes, which are a blue variety very high in anthocyanin, which is the antioxidant found in blueberries. There are several different types of tomatoes in this series (find more information on these at www.jungseed.com). The America’s Garden Almanac is predicting a cool, wet spring this year with a last frost date of May 15. Cooler temperatures may mean planting tender crops a bit later than usual but most plants appreciate adequate moisture. Whatever the conditions, spring and milder conditions will be most welcome after this very cold, very snowy, severe winter. March garden tip: This is a good time to begin cleaning dead foliage, leaves, dead branches, etc. out of your gardens and beds, but try to avoid walking on the bare, wet soil in your beds as this will compact the soil. Prune off any dead or damaged branches on trees or shrubs now before new growth begins in the spring. If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, send them in to dpl3@accesstoledo.com.

MARCH 17, 2014

Rockets’ Cecil recognized as top girls player By J. Patrick Eaken and Mark Griffin sports@presspublications.com She can play anywhere on the court — guard, wing, or even post position, and she’s only a sophomore who stands 5-foot10. Oak Harbor standout Andrea Cecil caught the eyes of many prep basketball fans, enough so that she was voted this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year. After leading the Rockets to a 20-5 season, which included a Division III sectional championship and district runner-up, Cecil narrowly defeated Genoa senior guard Ciara Albright, an honorable mention allstate selection, in voting. Out of 10 area coaches and 10 media members voting, Cecil had just two more than Albright for POY, and they were the only two who received any votes on an open ballot. In addition, Cecil’s coach, Tom Kontak, narrowly edged Genoa coach Mike DeStazio and Clay coach Corey Slovak in Coach of the Year voting. Cecil averaged 19.5 points and 7.6 rebounds on a team that is bound to be going places in the next two years because multiple starters are underclassmen. They were so young when the season started, that no one knew for sure what was coming, not even the coaches. Kontak, who has a 127-57 career mark, returned just two starters from a year ago in senior guard Amanda Hetrick and Cecil, who was named third-team All-Ohio on Tuesday. “We started two freshmen (Emma Barney and Maddy Rathbun) who were on the eighth grade SBC championship team the year prior,” Kontak said. “The other sophomore who started was Athena Eli. Three sophomores, Allie Kuhn, Emma Bergman and Brandy Lochotzki, came off the bench. There were so many questions that needed to be answered, with only two players with playing time returning.” Kontak said his coaching staff realized early on what kind of players it had to work with. “Right away you found out that they had a great competitive spirit,” he said. “They were a very competitive group and they were very coachable players. Then, we just had to go day to day to teach what it takes to play at the varsity level. They’re winners. They understand that part of it.” Kontak said he brought in a local personal trainer, Tyson Smith, to work with the girls’ conditioning. “We spent a lot of time on stamina and agility and built up the girls from a physical standpoint,” Kontak said. “Our stamina was as good as anybody.” Oak Harbor graduates just two seniors in Amanda Hetrick and Nikki Weiss, who only played in five games because of a knee injury. Next year’s team will not have a senior on the roster. “With young kids, there are no guarantees,” Kontak said. “There are always so many distractions going on that we’ll have to stay focused and committed.” Albright (18.4 pts., 7.2 reb.), who has been offered a full ride to continue her career at Columbus State Community College, scored 1,082 career points, including 461 her senior year. She was the leading scorer in the Northern Buckeye Conference, was a first team All-District 7 and All-NBC selection and will play in the District 7 all-star game. She is the seventh player in Genoa

Andrea Cecil. (Press file photo by Russ Lytle/Facebook.com/Russ Lytle/RHP) girls’ basketball history to score 1,000 points. “What’s more important, she did this in three years,” DeStazio said. “Most play-

ers reaching 1,000 points play four years varsity.” Albright is joined by teammate Haley Pickard, a 5-6 sophomore point guard, who averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and had 110 steals this season. She has been DeStazio’s starting point guard the past two years and was the second leading scorer in the NBC. She was first team All-NBC and second team District 7. Lake 5-7 junior guard Jordyn Taylor, despite averaging just 10.2 points, was first team because of her play out in the backcourt and on defense. She had 107 assists, 84 steals, made 42.2 percent (78 for 185) of her two-point field goal attempts and despite her size, led the team with 116 rebounds. Playing almost every minute of every game, she had just 40 turnovers — less than two per contest. Rounding out the All-Press first team is Woodmore 5-10 senior wing/post Allie Wank, who averaged 14.5 points, six rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.9 steals. She shot 40 percent from two-point range, an outlandish 53 percent from three-point range, made 58 percent of her free throws, and had 42 steals. Along with Genoa, Clay and Waite, playing against larger schools in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Toledo City League, were the only teams to have three players each on the All-Press first team, second team, or third team. Slovak, after restoring the Clay girls’ basketball program to a winning mindset, saw two players on the second team, guards Haley Hess and Morgan Connor, both underclassmen. In voting, Hess narrowly missed earning a first team selection.

Kontak honored by district, state, and then locally By Mark Griffin and J. Patrick Eaken sports@presspublications.com In eight years as a varsity girls’ basketball coach at Genoa and Oak Harbor, Tom Kontak has won 127 games, two league titles and five sectional championships and reached four district finals. This year’s Oak Harbor team, which started two sophomores and two freshmen, finished 20-5 and was seconds away from advancing to the Division III regional semifinals. On Tuesday, Kontak was named the D-III Co-Coach of the Year by The Associated Press. Last Thursday, Kontak, 51, learned that he was voted the AP Northwest District Co-Coach of the Year with Liberty-Benton coach Nate Irwin. This week, Kontak was voted the Alan Miller Jewelers AllPress Coach of the Year. The Rockets, which finished 16-8 last season in their first year under Kontak, finished 11-3 in the Sandusky Bay Conference this year. The AP district and state cocoach of the year awards are the first for Kontak, who was named coach of the year by the District 7 Coaches’ Association in 2009, when his Genoa team reached the district finals. “This is a great honor in that it’s voted on by the media and covers such a large area,” Kontak said of the district honor. “Hopefully having been around for a while, the voters recognize the success we’ve had over the years and that we have done things the right way. I was very surprised. I got a call from one of my coaching friends and he said congratulations. I had no idea.” Kontak said he’s familiar with what Irwin has accomplished at LibertyBenton, which was ranked sixth. “We go back to our early days when he was at Liberty-Benton and I was at Genoa,” Kontak said. “We played Liberty-Benton at Perrysburg in a district semifinal game and we beat them. Since then, they’ve won a state championship (2010) and been to the final four and have a great program and a great history. To be with Nate also makes it that much more of a great honor.” Oak Harbor’s only losses were to Clyde (twice), which lost to final four state qualifier Rogers in the district finals; Bellevue, a regional finalist in D-II; to Port Clinton; and to Bucyrus Wynford, which hit a 3-pointer with seconds left to beat the Rockets 40-37 in the district finals. Kontak’s assistants were Art Eli, Mark Boukissen and junior varsity coach Ralph Mills. “Those are guys who have been around for a while,” Kontak said. “We spend time away from the court together. The girls were able to see us get along so well, to see us scheme, game plan, laugh together, cry together - all the things you have to do to come together during the season. There wasn’t a lot of drama. It was a lot of good leadership and playing basketball and representing your school.”

Otterbein’s Juergens suddenly thrust into the paint By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com High school was never like this for Eastwood grad Jon Juergens. Back then, the 6-foot-6 Juergens could mostly roam the perimeter and let 6-8 teammate Clay Rolf take care of things in the paint. Not so anymore. Juergens, a senior at Otterbein University in Westerville, was the tallest player on the Cardinals’ roster. Secondyear coach Todd Adrian, out of necessity, asked Juergens to play the post position. Juergens didn’t even play for Otterbein as a freshman and sophomore. He went to school there to study business administration, not to play basketball, although he did play intramural ball his first two years. “Back then we had our old coach, Dick Reynolds, and he was here a long time,” Juergens said. “When I came to school, I wasn’t looking to play basketball. My sophomore year he came up to me and a couple of the guys said, ‘You’re pretty good. You should come out for the team,’ but I wasn’t really feeling it at the time.” Juergens heard that the new coach, Adrian, was holding open tryouts prior to the 2012-13 season and he thought to himself, “Why not give it a shot? What do I have to lose?” He said it took him a while to get back in the swing of things, having not played organized basketball for more than two years. Adrian kept him on the squad and Juergens played in all 27 games, earning three starts. He scored 15 points against Muskingum in January 2013. “Playing against high school guys and playing in college is a lot different,” Juergens said. “It’s physical and fast paced, and it was a big adjustment at first. After a while I got settled in and figured out I could play with these guys. It’s been a great experience and I’m glad I got to do it these two years.” The Otterbein University men’s basketball team saw its season come to an end on the road, falling 95-74 to John Carroll University in the opening round of the Ohio Athletic Conference Tournament. The Cardinals, seeded eighth, fin-

Otterbein’s senior Jon Juergens shoots a contested jumper in an Ohio Athletic Conference game against Ohio Northern. (Photo by Ed Syguda, Otterbein University) ish their schedule at 4-22 while the Blue Streaks, possessing the No. 5 seed in the bracket, improve to 16-10 and advanced to play at fourth-seeded Ohio Northern University. Adrian said this year’s squad had a few players with minimal college basketball ex-

perience, and losing other players to injuries (concussion, broken jaw) did not help. “This whole year was about developing our team and getting better,” Adrian said. “We have had quite a few injuries. About a month ago I thought our guys started to get it, and the game slowed down and

we began to figure out what was going on at both ends of the court. We have learned how to compete, now we just have to learn how to win.” The Cardinals were doing so with the 205-pound Juergens manning the paint. Adrian and Juergens both admit that Juergens is playing out of position, but he was doing what’s best for the team. Juergens started in 22 of 26 games and averaged 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 19.1 minutes a game. He had 10 blocks, seven assists and eight steals and shot 54.3 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from the free throw line. “We’ve had to have him play the post position and it’s tough for him battling with big, strong kids from the OAC,” Adrian said. “He spends a lot of energy rebounding for us. He is our tallest kid and he’s playing out of position, but he’s done a great job and I’m really happy with him and his acceptance to help our team. He’s a great kid, a hard worker. He goes in the post and bangs with the big boys and he never complains. He’s really improved a lot.” Juergens, 21, who is set to graduate in May, said he often feels like he’s in a wrestling match during games. “These guys are all my height and sometimes outweigh me by 30-40 pounds,” he said. “It’s been hard. I can’t guard them one-on-one a lot of times and we’ve had to double-team in the post. That’s been one of our biggest issues defensively. You can’t take any possessions off. When you do, that’s when you get scored on.” Juergens said he refuses to complain to the coaches or teammates. It’s just not his nature, something he learned from his father, Jim, and his grandfather, Curt. Jim Juergens still holds the high jump record (6-9) at Eastwood. “My dad and my grandpa were good basketball players in their respective days and they taught me to never make excuses and just give it your all, no matter what,” Juergens said. “That’s something I’ve always kept close to me. I might not be as good as they were back in the day, but I try to live up to their expectations. I always keep that in the back of my head, and that just makes me want to play harder.”

Jacob Huss swings into Woodmore coaching position The Woodmore varsity baseball team will be working hard this spring under the direction of new head coach Jacob Huss. Huss started coaching in 2003 and since then has coached Genoa Little League, as well as junior varsity and assistant varsity at Lakota High School before coming to Woodmore. With several returning seniors, Huss feels he will have great leadership that will lead the team positivity. “I’m excited for the season,” said Huss. “There are upperclassmen that can take charge and lead the team to a successful season.” Huss has been the JV coach since 2010, so he is excited to take on the new position because he has worked with the upcoming varsity players before. Many of the players this year are excited to see Huss take charge. “He’s very positive and enthusiastic,” said sophomore Matt Depner. “He’s my favorite coach because he doesn’t bring anyone down and works solely on fundamentals.” Starting fresh with a new coach for some schools could be a setback, but not for Woodmore baseball. “We should have a good season,” said senior Erich Greulich. “I hope to help the team to get to the top of the league and also have a good tournament run.” Both Depner and Greulich admire Huss as a coach because of his calmness in a tough situation and dedication to making the team better each day. “This year might be a struggle due to the number of pitchers and loss of a few key players from graduating or not coming out this season,” said Depner. “But with hard work we will pull through.” Coach Huss added, “Wins and losses aren’t the only way to measure a team. We hope to have every athlete grow on and off the field.” (— by Window To Woodmore staff writer Maddy Hines)
