Northwood and Oregon responded quickly to the demands caused by heavy snowfall and subzero temperatures and wind chills last week. Northwood’s four snowplows had not stopped until the main roads and side streets had been cleared, said City Administrator Bob Anderson Wednesday evening. “Everything was open pretty fast,” said Anderson, who is also the city’s safety di-rector. “We concentrated on the primary roads fi rst, and also kept our business roads cleared. As soon as we could, we headed for all the subdivisions. Our guys have done a really good job. They’ve been work-ing since before the storm actually started. Tonight [Wednesday] might be the fi rst night we haven’t had anyone out plowing.” The city has four large snow plows as well as smaller trucks and heavy duty pick-ups with blades attached. “We had four street employees and the building and maintenance supervisor out plowing. They don’t work any more than 12 hours. We keep track of how many hours

and days in a row they work. We do what we have to do. But we also make sure our people don’t get fatigued so they’re safe,” said Anderson. “The only problem we had, just like everyone else, is the snow getting blown over some of our roads,” he added. “You can plow them a million times, but if it’s still blowing, the roads are still going to be covered with snow an hour later.” The majority of residents, he said, got their vehicles off the streets so that plows could remove the snow. Some of the

roads are very narrow, making it diffi cult for plows as well as emergency vehicles to navigate. “Emergency vehicles can’t get through some of those roads if there is a car on each side of the road,” he said. “Emergency access is vital.”

Oregon Oregon’s roads were also cleared as of Wednesday evening, according to Mayor Mike Seferian. “Everything is plowed,” he said. “We just have two crews out this evening cover-ing the city for possible snow drifts.” The city has 13 plows consisting of big and small end loaders and trucks with plows, said Seferian. “At any given time, some of them are being serviced or repaired. One of the snow plows hit a little shift in the road on Navarre Avenue and the blade was bent. It’s not anything tragic. But rather than keep that one out on the road, it was pulled for repairs so it didn’t get damaged any worse. And one of the big end loaders had a hy-draulic issue, so part of the time, it was down. When you’re pushing that level of snow, breakdowns happen and it’s not un-common at all,” he said.

Pemberville braces forriver fl ooding By J. Patrick EakenPress Staff [email protected]

Pemberville mayor Gordan Bowman is hoping that nearly a foot of snow melts real slow after expected 40-plus degree weather over the weekend.

The slower the better, he says, add-ing that while concerned, he is confident potential flooding won’t reach the same proportions as it did nine years ago.

In 2005, melting snow and heavy rains led to flooding that resulted in the National Guard coming into town while drawing national news coverage.

Throughout the day on January 13, news helicopters were spotted hovering over the village, and at least one of them represented national media. At one point the next morning on NBC’s Today show, Pemberville was specifically singled out as a victim of flooding in Ohio.

Then-mayor James Opelt himself counted 20 interviews he performed throughout the six days that national and local news media were in town. He said he even talked to relatives in Arizona and Florida who had heard about the flooding in Pemberville on national news.

In a downtown parking lot by the Portage River, hundreds of volunteers worked 24 hours setting up a dike system consisting of 18,000 sand bags and over 300 tons of sand to keep the rising water from damaging buildings.

For the most part, the efforts worked. Some homeowners living near the river were not so lucky. Many homeowners experienced rising water filling their base-ments to the brim and coming close to entering the first floor of the home itself.

Opelt said as many as 14 families were voluntarily evacuated from their riverside homes, and some homes were damaged to a tune of as much as $10,000 or more per house. In August 2007, flooding again hit villages along the Portage River, but it did not come close to levels reached in 2005.

Because of that experience, and other historic floods, Pemberville has become increasingly aware of potential damage to its downtown buildings. A Pemberville Disaster Relief Fund was established soon

Brr...It’s Cold Outside!

By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Northwood is looking at installing street lights at Wales and Drouillard roads to improve safety at the intersection. “We’ve had a couple of accidents there,” Administrator Bob Anderson said at a recent council meeting. “We want to make it as safe as possible.” The city has received cost estimates to install the lights, he said. A fatal accident occurred at the inter-section in December. Councilwoman Connie Hughes said she’s had a few calls about the lights. Anderson said there are currently two stop signs on Drouillard Road. “We got two stop signs going both ways, one on each side of the road. We have a fl ashing red light on one of the stop signs. We have a sign indicating a stop sign is coming up. We have a sign that says `Cross Traffi c Does Not Stop. However, we’re try-ing to fi gure out how we can make this saf-er,” he said.

Northwood seeks lights at Wales Rd. “We thought about fl ashing LED stop signs. In fact, we’ve talked about it at the Safety Committee a little bit,” he added. The Ohio Department of Transportation, he said, is also looking into improving safe-ty at the intersection. After the meeting, Anderson said that street lights would not have averted the recent accident because it occurred during the day. “We do have a fl ashing stop sign there. Just before Christmas, someone blew through the stop sign and hit another car. Unfortunately, she died later of her inju-ries,” he said. The street lights, he said, will be in-stalled to improve safety at night. “It’s pretty dark out there. It concerns us,” he said. “We want to make sure people see the stop signs and don’t run into each other. We have already contacted Toledo Edison. We hope they get them in soon.”

Tax abatement Also at the meeting, council ap-proved a Community Reinvestment Area

Agreement with AC and Sons LLC and IC-FLUID Power, Inc., a privately held custom hydraulics and replacement spare parts fi rm. The agreement calls for 100 percent property tax abatement for up to 15 years, said Anderson. The school district will not be affected. “The company will pay the school dis-trict to make it whole,” he said. “It’s good for the city because we will be able to col-lect income tax from it. Hopefully, it will still be here after 15 years.” The company, which has outgrown its current location in Rossford, will manu-facture heat exchangers at the new 14,080 square foot facility, expected to be con-structed this spring on Wales Road. “The property is already in a Community Reinvestment Area,” said Anderson. The company is just taking ad-vantage of something we’ve set up to attract new business.” A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the state-of-the-art headquarters and manufacturing facility last November.

“If we’d have a fast melt like that with two inches of rain, then we’re in

after that 2005 flood to help offset any future losses suffered by floods, or for that matter, other disasters, such as fire or tor-nadoes.

One of the owners of downtown build-ings, Dennis Henline, is already planning what’s ahead when the snow began melting because of warmer temperatures and pos-sible rain over the weekend.

“All we’re going to do is keep a gen-tle eye on it. We’re not going to spend any money or labor or anything,” said Henline, owner of Pemberville Home Improvement Center.

“The one day won’t be bad if we just get an inch or two (of rain), but if we get three inches, that will change our whole strategy. I think with the frozen snow drifts and stuff that we can handle one inch, but where we would have trouble would be two or three. Believe it or not, the river has not frozen, so we’re not going to have an ice

jam that would create the fl ood,” Henline continued.

Henline said the village will not resort to sand bags, like they did in 2005.

“The only thing that would really cre-

Pemberville braces for river fl oodingate a problem would be the ten inches of snow we got plus two inches of rain, then we would probably not go with sand bags, but we’d probably go with dump trucks full of gravel and plastic and just make our own little barrier. Sand bags are a lot of work coming and going, but we’re going to use some tractors and dump trucks where we can build a temporary barrier just to protect the downtown businesses.”

In 2005, there was snow on the ground and temperatures suddenly became Spring-like, leading to a quick melt. Forecasters say that temperaturs should not go higher than the upper 40s this year.

“If we’d have a fast melt like that with two inches of rain, then we’re in trouble,” Henline said. “But looking at the long range, we go through 24 hours and then it’s supposed to get cold again at night, so some of the water will remain in the farm fi elds where we won’t have to deal with it right away.”

Some need just minor adjustments, he added. One plow’s defroster broke down, causing the windows to fog up. “The truck was running great, but with the defroster broken, the driver couldn’t see and needed another vehicle. It was just a matter of ic-ing on the intake, not allowing the truck to draw in any air to blow onto the wind-shield.” Street crews work 12 hour shifts, and are compensated with overtime, time and a half and double time pay after 40 hours, he said. There were no waterline breaks report-ed, though they can occur when the tem-peratures start to rise. “Sometimes after a cold spell, when it starts to get warm a little bit, is when water-line breaks can show up, so we’re not out of that yet,” said Seferian. “We can be more susceptible later because the ground starts to move when it gets warmer. We’re fortu-nate so far, but we could still have them.” Road salt Both cities were expected by last Thursday to start covering the streets with road salt, which is ineffective in tempera-tures below 20 degrees. The temperature on Thursday was expected to climb to 24 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. “We’re going to start using a lot of salt pretty soon to break down the remain-ing ice on the roads. We used a little so there’s some traction for motorists,” said Anderson. Seferian said the city also used road salt during the day on Wednesday as tem-peratures hovered near 20 degrees. “We were on the edge today,” he said. “We used salt during the daylight hours. The sunlight makes it start working.” The city decided not to salt the roads in

the evening due to falling temperatures. “If you get some melting, and it drops down cold enough, it will re-freeze when nightfall comes and it will be more slippery than if you didn’t salt,” said Seferian.

Auto repair Seferian, who owns an auto repair shop, said most disabled vehicles in this weather are due to dead batteries. “We see a lot of car batteries we have to change. A little place like ours, we changed fi ve today,” he said. “What most people don’t realize,” he added, “is that the cold isn’t as hard on bat-

teries as hot weather is. More batteries are damaged in the hot part of the summer as in the winter. It’s 10 to one. Heat is more damaging than cold all the time. However, it takes one-third of the power to start a car in the summer than it does in the winter. Batteries are damaged a lot of times in the summer, but they are just getting by. When it gets to subzero temperatures, it’s three times more diffi cult to turn over the car because it demands more power, and that’s when the problem shows up.” Thirty-fi ve years ago, auto repair shops might replace 20 batteries in a day in such weather.

World stillwarming By Mary KuhlmanOhio News [email protected]

Ohio and other parts of the nation may be frozen, but an expert says the world is still warming.

Lonnie Thompson, an Ohio State University professor who has studied the effects of climate on glaciers around the globe, said public opinion on climate change tends to shift in response to cold weather patterns.

“We have a tendency to say, ‘Well, if it’s cold here; the world must be getting colder.’ Well, this is not true,” he said. “We live on a huge planet. It’s a complex sys-tem, and that natural variability that’s al-ways been with us continues, even though the longer-term trend is toward warming.”

Weather is what is currently happen-ing, Thompson said, while climate fi gures are averages based on the weather. While the world does go through ice ages and warming periods, he said, it’s the longer-term rate of change that is prompting alarm about the earth’s warming pattern.

Each of the past three decades has been hotter than the one before, Thompson said, and those three decades were hotter than at any time in the previous 1,400 years.

In his travels, Thompson has studied glaciers, tree rings, corals and other bio-records to fi nd the natural indicators of cli-mate change. Scientifi c data tells the same story, he said.

“If you look at the instrumental records, eight of the nine warmest years in that 132-year record have occurred since 2000,” he said. “So, the world hasn’t stopped warm-ing - it just happens to be cold right now here in Ohio.”

The current frigid temperatures, as well as other so-called “extreme weather events,” could be connected to climate change, he said, adding that some scientists think it’s through a chain reaction starting with the warming of the Arctic.

“A number of papers have been pub-lished suggesting that the loss of sea ice in the Arctic has caused larger undulations in our jet stream,” he said, “which allows the Arctic air masses to penetrate farther to the south, and also warm air to move farther to the north.”

When considering the changing cli-mate, he said, it’s important to look at what’s happening on a global scale. While it may have been 5 below zero in Ohio on Monday, it was 34 degrees Fahrenheit in Anchorage, Alaska.

Meetings rescheduleddue to severe weather The recent spell of snow, wind, and freezing temperatures forced the cancel-lation of meetings and services in several area towns. • Walbridge Village Council will hold its fi rst regular meeting of 2014 on Jan. 15 at 6:30 p.m. after cancelling its Jan. 7 meeting. •The Lake Township trustees can-celled their organizational meeting for 2014 and rescheduled it for Jan. 14 at 5:30 p.m. •In the Village of Pemberville, trash pick-up has been rescheduled for Jan. 13, according to the village administration. Buckeye Sanitation, which collects the trash, has a message on its answering ma-chine that it cancelled its Jan. 6 collection. In Lake Township, police responded to a weather-related accident on Monday when a motorist was unable to stop at the intersection of Walbridge and Bradner roads and slid into another vehicle. Two private-property accidents in-volving tractor-trailers at a truckstop were reported on Jan. 5 and 6, police said. There were no injuries reported. The emergency status for most area counties was reduced to Level 1 during the afternoon on Thursday.

Energy program The Village of Genoa has renewed its partnership with Effi ciency Smart through the end of 2016, extending the initial three-year contract that began in January 2011. The Effi ciency Smart program pro-vides energy effi ciency services for electric customers of the village’s utility system. Through the end of November 2013, the partnership has resulted in 486 mega-watt-hours of energy saved in Genoa, more than double the goal established for the fi rst contract, according to fi gures compiled by the program.

Preliminary data indicate there were fewer fatalities from traffi c crashes last year in area counties than in 2012, refl ecting a state-wide trend. Fatalities from crashes dropped last year in Wood, Lucas and Ottawa counties but increased in Sandusky County, accord-ing to fi gures compiled by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The highway patrol said 982 persons died last year in traffi c crashes in the state compared to 1,122 in 2012. The 2013 fi gure, while provisional, may be the lowest number of fatalities in the state since the highway patrol started keeping records in the 1930s.

Traffi c fatalities dropped in 2013 Fatalities dropped last year by one in Ottawa and Lucas counties and fi ve in Wood County; but increased by four in Sandusky County compared to 2012. Statewide, there 835 single-fatality crashes, 55 crashes in which two persons were killed, three crashes in which three persons were killed and two crashes in which six persons were killed. Locally, drunk-driving citation actions last year increased in all but Sandusky County:• Ottawa County - 133 citations in 2013; 119 in 2012.• Wood County - 474 citations in 2013; 430 in 2012.• Lucas County - 1,192 citations in 2013; 1063 in 2012.• Sandusky County - 299 citations in 2013; 344 in 2012.

Lake Twp. – Michael L. Clifton, 54, Northwood, was charged with criminal damage and disorderly conduct Jan. 7 after allegedly causing a distur-bance at the Love’s Truck Stop and threatening the store manager.• A resident of Woodlake Boulevard on Jan. 3 re-ported the theft of computer and electronic game equipment.• A resident of the 3800 block of Plumey Road on Jan. 7 reported the theft of a fl at screen TV. Entry was forced, police said.• A resident of the 28000 block of Center Street on Jan. 8 reported jewelry was missing.

Door damaged According to the Wood County Sheriff’s Department, a resident of Pemberville reported on Jan. 1 that someone kicked in a door of a former bus garage in the 100 block of E. College Road. Nothing was reported missing.

Plans to install a wind turbine at Camp Perry may be headed to court as the Black Swamp Bird Observatory in Oak Harbor and a national conservation organization have jointly said they intend to fi le suit against the Ohio National Guard, contend-ing federal law protecting wildlife is being violated. The BSBO and American Bird Conservancy say an environmental re-view process has been circumvented and the proposed wind project is violating the Endangered Species Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. If completed, the Ohio National Guard’s plan to erect a turbine at the camp poses a threat to endangered species such as Piping Plover and Kirtland’s Warbler as well as other federally protected birds, said Dr. Michael Hutchins, national coordinator of ABC’s bird smart energy campaign. “We are asking the developer to im-mediately halt construction and take the steps mandated by federal law to prevent the illegal killing of protected species,” he said. “The proposed development of wind power at Camp Perry ignores the many con-cerns expressed by wildlife professionals in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Ohio Department of Natural Resources. He said the turbine would sit in the middle of a major bird migration route that is adjacent to a national wildlife refuge. The bird observatory and conservancy stated their intent to sue in a Jan. 8 letter to Capt. Roger Nienberg, of the Ohio National Guard Red Horse Squadron at Camp Perry, Deborah James, Secretary of the Air Force, Dan Ashe, director the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and Gen. Mark Welsh III, Air Force Chief of Staff. A public interest law fi rm, Meyer Giltzenstein & Crystal, based in Washington, D.C., submitted the letter to the offi cials. It asks for an “adequate response” by Jan. 20. “It is our preference, however, to work in a collaborative fashion with Air National Guard and the (Fish & Wildlife) Service to rectify the violations described herein and to consider alternatives other than wind power to meet ANG’s renewable energy needs,” the letter says. “It is important to emphasize that the bird conservancy and observatory position is that wind power can be an important tool in fi ghting climate

Bird groups say plans violate law

change and can broadly result in benefi ts to birds and their habitats. As a result, we support the military’s commitment (and ANG’s in particular) to gradually increas-ing its share of energy usage from renew-able sources. However, the available empir-ical data also demonstrate that wind energy projects, when poorly sited, can negatively impact birds – including eagles, migratory songbirds, and rare and endangered species – in signifi cant ways through collisions with turbines and associated power lines, and through loss and degradation of essen-tial habitat.” Mark Shieldcastle, research director at the bird observatory, has been heading efforts to study fl ight patterns of migratory birds crossing Lake Erie. With the use of radar units, Shieldcastle and researchers from government and aca-demia have been compiling data on migrat-ing fl ocks in the spring and fall, hoping to determine how close they’d come to wind turbines. Radar units can give researchers a look at the patterns of movement and volume of the birds, their elevation, and how they’re interacting with the lake and shoreline, Shieldcastle said last spring. One question in particular needs to be addressed, he said: Are they fl ying above the risk zone – the area around the blades of the turbines? One radar unit was placed close to the shoreline while the others were three and 15 miles inland. Preliminary data from the unit farthest inland are yielding a surprise. “That unit had a huge amount of ac-tivity below 500 feet,” Shieldcastle said. “How that compares to right along the coastline we don’t know yet. But they weren’t expecting that much bird activity that low 15 miles inland. That can be a very important piece of information, depending on how that analysis comes out. One pos-sible explanation is the birds are dropping in just like a jet comes in – on a long ap-proach. That’s still up in the air until the data is analyzed. But it does show the birds follow a lower altitude farther inland than was thought.” If funding is available, researchers would like to have three years of data, he said. According to an environmental assess-ment prepared in 2012 for the Air National Guard, the proposed turbine will be able to generate 500-600 thousand kilowatts of power and have a three blade rotor with a diameter of 135 feet. The maximum height of the rotor tip would be 198 feet above ground level. At its lowest level the rotor tip would be 85 feet above ground. A specifi c turbine system hadn’t been selected when the assessment was con-ducted so the dimensions could vary as much as 10 percent, the assessment says. The turbine will offset a portion of the electric consumption at Camp Perry to meet directives set by executive orders and the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Former sheriff to plead guiltyto theft chargesBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

Former Ottawa County Sheriff Robert Bratton said he will plead guilty to a single charge of theft in offi ce and will resign his current position as Genoa police chief. Bratton, 60, is accused of mishandling $5,000 in federal Furtherance of Justice Funds between 2008 and 2011 for person-al spending during his tenure as Ottawa County sheriff. He served as sheriff from 2004 to 2011. “I made a mistake. I admit I made a mistake,” Bratton said, “And I will go into court and I will sit down and I will plead guilty and I will no longer be able to be a police offi cer.” An information charge was fi led Thursday against Bratton in U.S. District Court in Toledo. He is scheduled to appear at 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 29. A conviction in fed-eral court means Bratton will be tagged a felon and he will no longer be able to pos-sess a gun. With that, he said, he must re-sign his post as Genoa police chief. Bratton said he intends to remain chief until 4 p.m. Monday when he will sub-mit his resignation letter to Genoa Mayor Mark Williams. He plans to use the week-end to get the offi ce ready to turn over to another and remove his personal items. Williams could not be reached for com-ment Thursday night. Village Administrator Kevin Gladden said he was saddened by the event. “The village, for its part, wishes him good luck. It did not affect his work here. He did a good job for our department,” Gladden said. Village council, which rescheduled its fi rst meeting of the year to Jan. 13 because of the snowstorm and will address the res-ignation letter then, Gladden said. The next in command at the police department, Sgt. Todd Mocniak, will temporarily take over chief duties. Details of the mishandled money came to light a couple of years ago when the Ohio auditor’s offi ce determined that Bratton had wrongly spent nearly $5,000 – some in cash and the remainder in credit card expenses – on personal items including uniforms, prescription medicine and Cedar Point tickets. The Furtherance of Justice is to be used to help cover costs of offi cial law enforce-ment duties. Revenues come from the fed-eral government but are administered by the state. In the past, Bratton said, he had spent the money on dozens of purchases, from meals for inmates on work detail in the aftermath of the 2010 tornado to gift cards distributed to various personnel over the years. Following the audit, Bratton paid back $7,214 in February 2012, which included the costs of the investigation. He thought, at the time, that was the end of it. “I sat right there with the auditor’s of-fi ce attorney during the whole thing and he told me that he did not fi nd anything crimi-nal. He said this was a civil infraction,” Bratton said. Bratton said he was surprised to learn a year and half ago that the case had been reopened by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice. He contacted a lawyer, who contacted the federal agencies and confi rmed a new in-vestigation was underway. The fact that the charge was fi led in federal court concerns him. “Thirty-eight years in law enforcement and I am thrown into federal court,” he said. “You wonder what’s going on.” He said he realizes the severity of the charges against him at this level and the repercussions, but he doesn’t understand though why the charge wasn’t fi led at a lower court since he had already admit-ted to the problem years ago and paid the money back. That consideration had been given to other sheriffs across the state in similar sit-uations in the past. “But I am not going to sit and debate those cases. I understand the section of the law and wording of the charge against me -- and the severity. I am not an idiot. But I am not going to spend the next two years in court saying I didn’t do it. No, I did it and I admitted it. I’ll take my punishment. I’ll take what’s coming to me,” Bratton said.

Recognizing efforts To the editor: I enjoyed very much the recent article regarding Genoa grad, pitcher Chris Bassitt’s climb through the Chicago White Sox organization. Author Mark Griffi n captured well the challenges and successes that Chris has and is experiencing in chasing his dream of reaching the “bigs.” The path is not an easy one as Chris freely admitted with few if any guarantees. Thanks to The Press and Mr. Griffi n, his attempt has not gone unnoticed to area baseball enthusiasts. Celebrations of local athletes’ accomplishments, such as those of Chris Bassitt’s, reinforce an important niche The Press provides for its many read-ers.Rick Briggle

Something smells To the editor: So let’s say 40 million people don’t have health insurance. We to-tally disrupt the health insurance policies of the other 273 million people to “fi x” the problem? I smell a rat.Val StevensGenoa

“Give a person a fi sh and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to fi sh and they can feed themselves for a lifetime.”

There’s a good reason wildlife ref-uges prohibit feeding the animals. When animals are given food, they stop foraging because they become dependent on the handouts. When the “free” food stops, many animals die waiting for more rather than expending the effort to fi nd what they need. Although dependence appears to be an easy road to take, it’s one of servitude rather than freedom. When you turn to someone else to provide for your needs, you exchange liberty for control. In effect, those you turn to hold you captive. You won’t make any choices which may jeopar-dize your handouts. Dependence is a source of misery rath-er than joy. At fi rst it seems like a great deal. However, the euphoria fades with the realization that your options are diminish-ing over time. Jim took a job after high school that didn’t require any special talents or skills. It was easy work that paid a decent wage. All Jim had to do was handle whatever simple tasks he was given. Jim loved his situation. Jim had no motivation to further his professional development. There was no need to acquire any new skills. Jim’s week was simple. He showed up for work, com-pleted his work, and went home. His job allowed Jim to live comfortably with rela-

Some thoughts on freedom and dependence

tively little effort. Five years into his job, Jim got mar-ried and started a family. The next year, the demands of his job increased. Jim was now required to spend 50 hours a week at work rather than the 35 he was used to. At fi rst this seemed OK. The pay was good and the work easy. Besides, Jim knew he didn’t have many options since his skills were insuffi cient to make the same income someplace else. In year eight, his work demands in-creased again to 60 hours a week. Jim couldn’t refuse since he needed the job to support his wife and two children. Although Jim really wanted to spend more time with his family, he had to put in the hours at work because he couldn’t earn as much money with another employer. Jim had become totally dependent on his job. This example may be simplistic but it illustrates the perils of dependence. Dependence subverts your freedom by eliminating options. You can become de-pendent for your fi nancial, emotional or social needs. Emotional dependence occurs when you give somebody the power to affect how you feel. If your happiness is based on how

another person behaves, you are emotional-ly dependent on them. Since you no longer control your feelings, you lose emotional stability and identity. It’s your choice whether you are de-pendent or not. No one can make you de-pendent. You have the free will to decline any offer of dependence. A life of depen-dence is a life of being controlled. The antidote for dependency is self-suffi ciency. This is where you rely on your-self for your needs. You take responsibility for your emotions. You can’t control other people’s behavior but you do have control over your response. Reject handouts. Take steps to ensure your fi nancial security. Take action to pre-pare for your future. Complacency lulls you into dependency. Always be aware of the impact your behavior has. Self-suffi cient people actively shape their future. They make changes as neces-sary to remain on track to their goals. They put in whatever effort is required to reach their destination. Self-suffi cient people chose not to be dependent on other people or circumstances. You don’t have to be de-pendent either.

Quotes of the year 2013

Red light cameras and Woodville Mall were hot topics Let’s give the last word to those who made the pages of The Press in 2013.

The state of housing in 05 “I invested in my home on the east side 13 years ago. I invested again this year. I look at three (dilapidated) properties on my street— one of them I see right outside my front door and one of them I see right out-side my back door. That’s what I get to look at, and another one is two doors down next to my daughter who has a newborn baby, (and that house) has been burned down.” An East Toledo resident attending a talk on the demolition efforts of the Lucas County Land Bank.

“The housing is really affordable and interest rates are low. I encourage my friends to look in Toledo for homes. We wanted to be in the city and closer to the activities. Living here has allowed us to put money into other things like student loan debt. Look, you dream of owning a home and you can do it in a cost effective manner that allows you to not get into a hole you can’t dig out of.” Dr. Christy Mesaros-Winckles, on moving to East Toledo after living six years in Springfi eld Township.

“We don’t have that feeder system coming into Oregon, Genoa, Northwood and Rossford. That’s what’s affecting sales and prices in those areas. People have to sell their home in East Toledo to move to the suburbs and they don’t have enough equity to do that…People my age have lost their equity, the kids who buy today, hope-fully, if the natural thing happens, will gain that equity.” Chris Hall, vice president of Danberry Realtors.

The Woodville Mall “That mall is coming down.” Juanita Jones, former manager of the Woodville Mall and spokesperson for the current owner.

“This is a land grab for the city. The owners cannot complete the demolition on the property without a city permit. And the city has blocked us at every turn.” Adam Burke, attorney for owners of the Woodville Mall.

“We’re not ignoring them. There’s a lot of asbestos involved. It’s a compli-cated deal. They missed the deadline of September 30. But we still want the own-ers to tear down the mall. We don’t want to have anything to do with that mall.” Bob Anderson, Northwood city ad-ministrator addressing a complaint from the owners which contends the city is now responsible for tearing down the mall be-cause it didn’t meet a court deadline to submit paperwork. Anderson contends the mall owners didn’t provide enough detail to guarantee public safety.

Red light cameras “Woodville Road is dead. Anything we can do to bring traffi c back to Woodville

Road, we need to do. If those red light cam-eras scare away fi ve drivers, that’s fi ve driv-ers too many. I go over to Navarre Avenue, I can’t even turn back onto the road from a parking lot, there’s so much traffi c. Our businesses are fl eeing over there. I have had so many people tell me they will not drive through Northwood. I’m not talking two or three people, but probably there are 100 people who tell me that. As a business owner on Woodville Road, I don’t need cli-ents being scared away. I’ve had people tell me they will go to our Central Avenue of-fi ce just to stay away from Northwood.” Ed Schimmel, Northwood council-man, on eliminating the red light cameras in the city.

“The loss of businesses on Woodville Road has fueled this decrease in traffi c. With a decrease in the number of cars mov-ing through the intersection, of course the number of accidents has decreased. The number of businesses on Woodville Road has also greatly decreased since the place-ment of the cameras. I do not believe that this is a coincidence.” Ed Schimmel.

“If that was truly the case, why is Franklin Park thriving. They have cameras near there. If those cameras were causing an issue, then their businesses would suf-fer.” Thomas Cairl, Northwood police chief.

“If we do have the availability of safe-ty money from the cameras, I see this as a good area in which to put some of it. The number of people who end up paying the fi ne might not even live here. So instead of taxing our own people to provide a service, we may be able to tax a region to pay for a service. As a resident, I would support that.” Greg Clark, Northwood schools super-intendent, on using traffi c camera money to hire a school resource offi cer.

“We, in essence, by putting it off, have made a decision. So whether they just don’t sign a contract and keep it tabled forever, or vote not to renew the contract, the result is the same: The red light traffi c cameras are not operating.” Bob Anderson, Northwood adminis-trator, on council three times tabling a vote to eliminate the cameras which allowed the contract to expire.

Other “After high school, you’re offered scholarships. That’s to get you in the door. It’s hard to turn down those scholarships. If you think you can handle it, if you’re academically gifted, give it a shot. But if not, take a break, work at a job and learn

the value of money, because in high school, you don’t live on your own. I’d recom-mend taking a break, experience the world and when you have some of the skills, like time-management and organization, go back to school.” Abbey Schell, Clay graduate and stu-dent at Owens Community College, on a strategy to avoid accumulating too much student debt by entering college before you’re ready.

“I hate to sound morbid, but someone, somewhere is planning a shooting.” Terry Mitchell, Clay Township police chief, speaking to Genoa school parents about an emergency response program called ALICE (Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate).

“Most people prefer to be with their pets in order to hold them during the fi nal moments. Why should it be any different for a shelter dog?” Teresa Landon, executive director of the Ohio SPCA, praising the decision by the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners to change its policy of euthanasia by gas chamber to one of injection. “Maybe they’ll pay a little bit more at-tention to someone who is covered in tat-toos and interested in punk music. Birds are kind of the gateway ‘drug’ to the rest of nature. Kids love them. We have a bird feeder in our backyard and my son says, ‘Dad, I wish I was a bird.’ I say, ‘why?’ He says, ‘Cause I wish I could fl y.’ If we can gets kids into it, that’s awesome.” Paul Riss, self-proclaimed punk rock birder.

“Go back to your childhood mind where anything is possible. From there set your intentions. Decide on who you want to be and the path you want your life to take. Then, just like you did when you learned to walk, make it happen.” Bryan Golden, Press columnist, on making your dreams reality.

“If you don’t provide our youth with leadership avenues, they’ll fi nd them them-selves and a lot of times it’s not construc-tive.” Dr. Romules Durant, Toledo’s new su-perintendent and a Waite grad, speaking about challenging young people by giving them responsibility in school.

“Why can’t that nursing home assess-ment approach work for schools? Why can’t teams of teachers and administrators, trained to look for the good and the bad, walk in some morning, observe classes, evaluate lesson plans, talk to students, parents, teachers and administrators, and make an overall assessment based on both qualitative and quantitative data? People and numbers count, not just numbers and numbers. Chris Schillig, English teacher in Alliance Ohio, suggesting there should be more to the state evaluation of schools than test scores.

“People don’t have lawn services, so

it can be a win-win to be poor, actually. I know it sounds crazy, but I know people who have bees in Perrysburg and they die every year because everybody has a chemi-cal lawn service. But, on the east side you don’t have the money for lawn services so it’s a much healthier place for bees…They have the Maumee River for water a block away, they have no chemicals, and it’s a perfect place for the bees to live.” Karen Wood of the Black Swamp Conservancy speaking on the success of producing honey at East Toledo’s Magyar Garden.

“It used to be feather parties, or Monte Carlo night, reverse raffl es, and bingo. Now the regulations just for operating a bingo parlor are so restrictive. It’s hard to get peo-ple involved because of work schedules. Volunteer fi re departments are smaller now than they’ve ever been. It takes so much to train and be qualifi ed. There were not enough people to volunteer for the ox roast to make it run as well as it should.” Capt. John Castellanos of the Millbury Fireman’s Association on cancelling the Ox Roast, a village tradition for nearly 40 years and conducting a raffl e for a Bushmaster rifl e instead.

“You get one shot at this deal. What you put into it (life) is what you get out of it. When its’ gone, it’s gone, you can’t get it back. Some get it and envision it and think about their legacy and then some get older and have regrets.” Todd Drusback, Rossford head foot-ball coach, president of Parker’s Purpose, a foundation to raise funds for the fi ght against Muscular Dystrophy.

“We will bring that trust back together. East Toledo is part of Toledo and not a step-child which identifi es itself as a zip code.” D. Michael Collins, Toledo Mayoral candidate talking at a mayoral debate to East Toledoans who refer to themselves as O-Fivers or as living in “The Nickel,” a ref-erence to 43605.

“I think the minorities here have more opportunity to work and to study. In Hungary, the gypsy minority are discrimi-nated against, so they don’t have opportu-nities because they don’t have a job. I think here fi nding an occupation is easier and I was happy when I saw black people, for example, in public offi ce. In Hungary, you can’t if you are a gypsy. I think if I go home, we can be more motivated to do what I see here in the U.S. as a good example.” Joszef Angyal, a Romany gypsy from Budapest, visiting Toledo for a month through a cultural exchange program.

“With all due respect, and saying it politely: gas money, beer money, and date money. He’s not doing it.” State Rep. Barbara Sears speculat-ing in jest on whether her 27-year-old son will buy health insurance through the Affordable Health Care Act after seeing his premium go from about $60 a month to $190 and his deductible from $2,500 to $6,200.

Advocate honored with Ntl. Youth Development Award

Though many people make losing weight their number-one New Year’s reso-lution, getting fi t and maintaining a healthy lifestyle – and teaching children in our lives by example to do the same – should be the goal for 2014 and a lifetime, says Dayre Carpenter of Focus Fitness of Oregon. “The sooner you get started, the better you’ll feel, and the more conscious you are of what you eat,” says Carpenter, a licensed fi tness instructor and a personal trainer certifi ed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). “My programs and classes aren’t about getting skinny,” she says. “I’m focused on helping adults, youths and families get more active and healthy. Fitness has a real impact on family life. And parents can help kids stay active by setting a good example.” Carpenter turned her focus to fi tness and became a certifi ed personal trainer af-ter caring for her grandparents, who died in 2007. “My grandmother suffered with Type II diabetes and other chronic conditions that were preventable,” she says. “She just

Classes focus on fi tness, good health for the whole familyneeded to be more active.” Focus Fitness is offering Cookie-Crushing, Resolution Rocking Workouts Mondays and Fridays from 5:30-6 p.m. through Jan. 31, 2014, inside New Harvest Church, 3540 Seaman Rd, Oregon. The total body, moderate-intensity group workouts are designed to help par-ticipants fi ght the battle of the post-holiday bulge and get a healthy start in 2014. (Not intended for ages 15 and younger.) The cost is $10 per week. In addition, a family-friendly free Beginner’s Workout is offered Monday and Friday from 6:30-7 p.m., also through Jan. 31. An Absolutely Abs classes – short, focused and intense workouts designed to work abs and strengthen the core – are offered Monday and Friday from 7-7:15 p.m. The cost is $5 per class or $3 for series members. Child care is available for parents dur-ing workouts for just $2 per child with 24-hour notice.

Citing studies from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that estimate that one in every four children in America is overweight to obese, and nearly one in fi ve is sedentary (defi ned as no participation in 104 activities in an entire calendar year), Carpenter is planning to offer after-school youth fi tness sessions at Coy Elementary. “Studies show fi tness is closely linked with better grades, better attendance and better self-esteem, which can help prevent problems with bullying. And a workout is a great de-stressor.” Carpenter chooses to hold classes in available church and school spaces to keep the cost down and ensure accessibility for community members. “Health is a com-munity issue and should be addressed as such,” she said. ”Focus Fitness is offering a Worship Leader Workout Class to help ministers share a little “sweat equity” with their con-gregants.” Focus Fitness recently began working with Food for Thought, the Oregon-based

food pantry. “Right now when you bring a jar of pea-nut butter for the food pantry, you can try a workout class free,” Carpenter says. “Food for Thought still makes 350 sack lunches every Friday for the homeless. In February, people who volunteer to help make sand-wiches on Friday will be invited to attend a family-friendly fi tness class immediately after. So parents can teach their kids the value of healthy exercise and the rewards of helping others at the same time.” Always open to new class develop-ment if a small group forms, Focus Fitness also offers fi tness instruction at work sites, as well as personal training sessions for couples and individuals in their home or other appropriate locations.For class schedules, questions or to enroll online, visit www.focusfi tnessoforegon.com or call 419-684-0846 for information.

Eryn Sanders

““I always told my mom and dad that I want-ed to empower young people to get what they want out of life...

By: Tammy WalroPress Staff [email protected]

Eryn Sanders, Rural Outreach Coordinator for The Ability Center of Greater Toledo, Ottawa Offi ce, was award-ed the Linda Gonzalez Award through the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL) at the or-ganization’s national conference held in October. Sanders is an Elmore native who currently lives in Millbury. APRIL is a national grassroots non-profi t membership organization consist-ing of Centers for Independent Living, their satellites and branch offi ces, state-wide Independent Living Councils, and other organizations and individuals con-cerned with the independent living issues of people with disabilities living in rural America. At the organization’s annual confer-ence, held in a rural part of the country each year, participants and presenters from throughout the country come together to talk about the challenges and resources available for people with disabilities living in rural America. The conference also includes the pre-sentation of the Linda Gonzales Award to a person who has made a signifi cant impact in rural youth issues. Gonzales, dubbed the “Queen of Independent Living,” died July 27, 2013. The award named for her rec-ognizes her strength and resolve, and cel-ebrates her numerous contributions to the youth movement and Independent Living. Sanders received the award in recogni-tion for her impact on community partner-ships in the six rural counties The Ability Center serves. In addition to her regular duties, in 2012, she took on the role of developing community partnerships with organiza-tions that provide services to youth in the communities, specifi cally Wood County

4-H, Ottawa County 4-H, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. She made it her mission to ensure the organizations are accepting of and include all youth, with and without disabilities, in their programming. Working closely with the 4-H in Wood County, she began by developing and lead-ing workshops to teach inclusion to direc-tors, leaders and staff. She then worked with summer camp counselors and staff of 4-H Camp Palmer in Fayette, Ohio, to make the camp accessible for anyone who utilizes the camp facilities. As a result of her work, more than 60 youths with disabilities, including 27 new young people, were able to attend Camp Palmer and be included in all its programs, according to Tory Thompson, Director of Rural Outreach for The Ability Center, Ottawa County offi ce. Her efforts also led to her being named The Ability Center’s Employee of the Year. She will be honored at the January meeting of the Board of Trustees. The honors and her successes are a very gratifying for the young woman who started as a volunteer at The Ability Center, seeking a way to help others facing the challenges of a disability.

It’s something she knows and under-stands, having been in a wheelchair since she was 14. Because traumatic birth inju-ry impaired her mobility, school offi cials became concerned about the risks of her walking on school grounds due to liability reasons, and, despite intercessions by her parents, insisted she use a wheelchair. “It was frustrating…I’m not saying I wouldn’t have ended up using a wheel-chair anyway, but I was trying to prolong it as long as I could. “I can walk with braces, but they hurt…it’s must easier to use the wheelchair,” she said. “Because of my situation, I always told my mom and dad that I wanted to empower young people to get what they want out of life,” she said. “Because I knew what it felt like for me.” After volunteering for four years, she took a job with The Ability Center. Her job entails promoting independence through advocacy, mentoring and independent liv-ing assistance for individuals with all types of disabilities, including physical, mental, emotional, and developmental.

“We strongly encourage all our young people and their parents to be involved at meetings with schools and other resourc-

es,” she said. “It’s so important to speak up and be your own advocate, because nobody knows what you need more than you do.

“The Ability Center’s goal is to be there – in the background – to empower individ-uals to be independent and be a part of the community. Hopefully, in turn, they will do the same and empower,” she said. “Our whole goal for the future is to put ourselves out of work.”

Sanders was thrilled that her supervi-sors considered her when a grant became available for the youth inclusion project. “They said, ‘we think you’ll be perfect for this…you’re young, you grew up in the country, you’re a go-getter.’”

She looked forward to approaching youth-related community groups to see if they’d be on board for what might be a new way of thinking.

“I started with Wood County 4-H, which was excited for something new,” she said. “We formed a board and worked on concepts to promote inclusion, including things like ‘People First Language,’ which directs language toward the person fi rst, be-fore the disability.

“We encouraged youths to go out and recruit people to join the organization,” she said. “I also enjoyed working with the staff and kids at Camp Palmer, helping to get them comfortable enough to ask questions about me and disabilities in general – the kind you see and the kind that might not be so obvious.” Sanders is gratifi ed to see the impact of her efforts at Camp Palmer and in the vari-ous organizations she’s worked with, and she is actively seeking organizations and programs in the Northwest Ohio area want-ing to learn more about fostering inclusion for people with all kinds of disabilities. Clubs, organizations and other groups interested in learning more may contact Sanders at The Ability Center of Greater Toledo-Ottawa Offi ce, located at the Sutton Center, by calling 419-734-0330.

Instructor adding new spice to Zumba classes at Lutheran Home This year will be the fi fth year that Ann-Marie Searle, licensed ZIN Zumba in-structor, has been teaching Zumba Dance-Fitness at The Lutheran Home at Toledo, 131 N. Wheeling (corner of Seaman and Wheeling), on the border of East Toledo/Oregon. She is looking forward to 2014 be-ing the best year yet. “This year, I will be implementing some new classes that I’ve never offered before,” she said. Searle says the popularity of the dance-fi tness program has skyrocketed in the area since she became licensed in late 2007. “A Zumba class is ‘offi cially’ a combi-nation of dance and fi tness moves, with the music being at least 70 percent Latin and in-ternational/world music and no more than 30 percent American music,” Searle said. “In any one of my classes, you might fi nd a salsa song by Enrique Iglesias, a hip-hop song by Pitbull, a cumbia song by Fonseca, a reggaeton song by Daddy Yankee, and many other rhythms and artists too numer-ous to mention. “A Zumba class is like taking a musi-cal trip around the world in one hour,” she said. “Combine that ‘trip’ with pumped-up energy and a room full of enthusiastic participants ranging in age from their 20s into their 70s, and you have a huge calo-rie-burning, exercise-in-disguise party that gives you a physical and mental high. Between doing Zumba and walking, Searle has lost 85 pounds and kept it off, she said. Searle and her team of instructors, including Scott Searle and Joanne Allred, teach Zumba classes at the Lutheran Home at Toledo, every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. New participants are invited to come and try a free class. Punch-card discounts will be offered through Jan. 15. For a com-plete class schedule and more information, call 419-381-2225 or email [email protected].

EMS Olympics The Ability Center of Ottawa County will host the Ottawa County Emergency Services Olympics Saturday, Jan. 11 from 1-3 p.m. at the Sutton Center in Port Clinton.

Events will include Uno, air rifl e, basketball shoot-ing, taco eating, quiz bowl and more. This year, the Olympics will kick off with a Wheelchair Obstacle Course hosted by The Ability Center of Ottawa County offi ce. Each participant will have to roll through a series of obstacles while using a manual

wheelchair. After the event, visitors and viewers will be invited to take a whirl at the obstacle course. For more information, call Tory Thompson at 419-734-0330.

Shingles vaccine seminar Otterbein Portage Valley Senior Lifestyle will host a seminar on the shin-gles vaccine Thursday, Jan. 16 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Rite Aid Pharmacy and Gentiva Home Health are co-sponsoring the event. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that people 60 years of age or older get vaccinated. Almost one of three people in America will develop shingles during their lifetime. The risk increases as people age. The seminar will include a question-and-answer session. RSVP to Jaime Brown at 419-833-8917.

Breathing better Individuals with questions about COPD, medications, asthma or pulmonary rehab are invited to attend monthly “Better Breathers Club” programs held at Heartland of Oregon, 3953 Navarre Ave., Oregon.

Bill introduced On Jan. 7, State Rep. Mike Sheehy (D-Oregon) and Rep. Robert Cole Sprague (R-Findlay) jointly introduced a bill to des-ignate the fi rst Friday in May as Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness & Education Day. “Designating a day for education and awareness about prescription drug abuse will help inform Ohioans about the dan-gers of misusing prescription medication – especially the very addictive pain killers,” Rep. Sheehy said. “Even after the attention

surrounding this epidemic lessens, we will still have this day to educate Ohioans about the dangers of abusing prescription drugs.” HB 399 was inspired by Kyle and April Schalow of Holland, Ohio, who founded the RX Memorial Foundation in August 2012 to bring awareness to the dangers of prescription drug abuse. The couple have received local recognition for their activ-ism and have testifi ed before the Ohio House Prescription Drug Addiction and Healthcare Reform Study Committee. The bill must pass in both the House and Senate before the Governor signs it into law.

Though forecasters are calling for temps to climb into the 30s and 40s – which may seem balmy after the recent sub-zero weather – there’s still plenty of winter to come. The ASPCA offers these tips to help pet owners keep their companion animals safe when the mercury dips. • Keep your cat inside. Outdoors, fe-lines can freeze, become lost or be stolen, injured or killed. Cats who are allowed to stray are exposed to infectious diseases, including rabies, from other cats, dogs and wildlife. During the winter, outdoor cats some-times sleep under the hoods of cars. When the motor is started, the cat can be injured or killed by the fan belt. If there are outdoor cats in your area, bang loudly on the car hood before starting the engine to give the cat a chance to escape. • Never let your dog off the leash on snow or ice, especially during a snow-

Protect four-legged friends from snow, ice and wintry temps

storm, when dogs can lose their scent and easily become lost. More dogs are lost dur-ing the winter than during any other sea-son, so make sure yours always wears ID tags. • Thoroughly wipe off your dog’s legs

and stomach when he comes in out of the sleet, snow or ice. He can ingest salt, an-tifreeze or other potentially dangerous chemicals while licking his paws, and his paw pads may also bleed from snow or en-crusted ice. • Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. When you bathe your dog in the colder months, be sure to completely dry him before taking him out for a walk. Own a short-haired breed? Consider getting him a coat or sweater with a high collar or turtleneck with coverage from the base of the tail to the belly. For many dogs, this is regulation winter wear. • Never leave your dog or cat alone in a car during cold weather. A car can act as a refrigerator in the winter, holding in the cold and causing the animal to freeze to death. • Puppies do not tolerate the cold as

well as adult dogs, and may be diffi cult to housebreak during the winter. If your pup-py appears to be sensitive to the weather, you may opt to paper-train him inside. If your dog is sensitive to the cold due to age, illness or breed type, take him outdoors only to relieve himself. • Does your dog spend a lot of time engaged in outdoor activities? Increase his supply of food, particularly protein, to keep him, and his fur, in tip-top shape. • Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thor-oughly clean up any spills from your ve-hicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethyl-ene glycol. Visit the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center more information. • Make sure your companion animal has a warm place to sleep, off the fl oor and away from all drafts. A cozy dog or cat bed with a warm blanket or pillow is perfect.

Led by senior Ciara Albright and sophomore Haley Pickard, who are averag-ing a combined 36.9 points, Genoa has won four consecutive games and finds itself 9-3 overall and 4-2 in the Northern Buckeye Conference. The Comets are back in the hunt after a dramatic, 57-52 victory over Rossford last week. Their winning streak also includes a 57-41 victory of Old Fort, which came into the game undefeated. The Comets’ other seven wins have come in convincing fashion and two of their three losses were to Oak Harbor (9-2) and Elmwood (7-4), two teams hav-ing quality seasons. The loss to reigning league champion Elmwood, a 57-47 set-back, sparked the current winning streak and enabled the team to refocus. “We sort of got put in place,” said guard Carly Gose, a five foot tall sopho-more. “It helped us get rid of the mindset that we couldn’t be stopped. We have bet-ter team chemistry now and are working together. And we’re thankful to be back at full strength. Everyone is a key player on the team.” Coach Mike DeStazio believes the team put too much pressure on itself in the game against the Royals and has since been able to relax. “I thought the outside pressure in the Elmwood game was an awful lot,” DeStazio said. “We had one loss. They had none. Everybody acted like that was a game we had to win if we wanted to win the league. It was the fifth league game out of 14. I thought the kids did not play with con-fidence. The girls played very tight; they became too mechanical. This is a group that needs to play basketball without being too structured. They’re athletic, quick, and I don’t think they played that way against Elmwood.” Albright, a returning Division III hon-orable mention all-state selection who led the NBC in scoring last season with 16.6 points, has combined with Pickard to form a potent one-two scoring punch that is giv-ing defenses fits. Albright is averaging 20.3 points and nine rebounds while Pickard, an all-district honorable mention selection last year, is putting up 16.6 points and 7.7 rebounds. The performance that stands out for Albright this year was her 16-point, 17-rebound effort in the comeback victory against the Bulldogs, a game that saw the Comets blow a 14-point lead. “I think Albright has realized that if you surround her with a couple more scor-ers, people can’t focus too much on her with a gimmick defense,” DeStazio said. “The thing about ‘C’ is that she’s a great finisher. She’s good at getting to the hoop. Between the two, Pickard is a little quicker. Albright is more of a basketball player. Albright can get to the hoop and ‘Pick’ is just a great athlete. She’s as tough mentally as you’ll find. She’s got great hands (and) she can get to the hoop. She doesn’t want to lose. When you talk about her, she is really an easy kid to coach because of the effort she gives. Her bar is raised so high all the time.” Despite having a great individual sea-son, Pickard understands the importance of getting everyone involved. “It’s important for everyone to help out and score,” Pickard said. “Basketball

is a team game. We like to use our speed and quickness to create turnovers for our offense.” The starting lineup features Pickard at the point, 5-4 freshman Emily Edwards at guard, Albright at small forward and seniors Katie Jensen and Brynn Skilliter, both of whom stand 5-8, in the post with sophomore guards Gose and (5-4) Haley Gerke, wing Erica Harder, a 5-11 sopho-more, 5-9 junior Christy Dazley and sopho-more Caitlyn Shessler filling in off the bench. And that’s where the role players come in.

Skilliter, who leads the league in rebounding at 9.9 per contest, and is aver-aging 4.6 points, has increased scoring while continuing to be a solid defensive presence in the post. Jensen, who normally plays in the post, is such a versatile talent that can shoot and play any of the five posi-tions. She is currently averaging 7.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. “Brynn has been a pleasant surprise in terms of her scoring,” said DeStazio. “She told me before the season that she was going to be more of a scorer for us. She’s another unsung hero on this team. When you look at everything she does, you can’t win without her. “Katie is a smart player. She sees the floor and makes great passes and takes the ball out of bounds all the time. She also plays at the top of our defense. She is the kind of player that, at the end of the night, won’t have a lot of stats, but she was a big part of the game.” The other starter, Edwards, who is averaging 5.2 points and 3.1 steals, has filled in nicely for Gose and Gerke, both of whom have missed significant time this year because of injuries. “I’ve started her every game,” DeStazio said. “She was the silver lining in a dark cloud when we lost. She’s a freshman and I didn’t know what she was capable of. She’s done a nice job for us.” Genoa returns to action on Monday when they host Lakota in non-league action and travel to Elmore to face Woodmore, which won their first meeting, 57-50.

Jordyn Taylor had to think long and hard about this one.

Lake’s All-Northern Buckeye Confer-ence junior point guard was asked whether she would rather get an assist on a game-winning bucket or make the game-winning basket herself.

“That’s a tough one,” she said. “As a point guard, you want the ball in your hands ... I would probably take the shot. At least if I don’t make it, it’s on me. We had a close game against Fostoria St. Wendelin and I actually scored the winning (layup). I took that shot. I didn’t hesitate.”

That, Lake coach Jim Gracyk said, is what he’s been preaching to Taylor for most of this sea-son: don’t hesitate to take more shots. In fact, Taylor says she hears the same thing from teammates, friends and family members.

“She won’t shoot the ball enough,” Gracyk said. “I’ve been on her the last month about that. She’s got to take more shot attempts. It’s not like they’re not there. She’s passing them up. Her defi ni-tion of a point guard is someone who runs the offense and gets the ball to everybody. Sometimes point guards are required to score, too. There’s no doubt, she’s our best player. Jordyn is capable of averaging 20 points a game, and for us to achieve what we’re capable of achieving, she’s got to score points every night out.”

Taylor is averaging 11.1 points and 4.4 assists a game for the Flyers (6-6, 3-3 NBC), who travel to Port Clinton on Monday. A fi rst-team all-conference and all-district selection last season, she is shooting 41 percent (45-of-109) from the fi eld. That’s an average of 9.1 shots a game, but she has taken seven or fewer shots on fi ve different occasions.

Dishing dimes Taylor’s game“Everybody gets on me for not shoot-

ing,” Taylor said. “I don’t know why I don’t; I’m working on it. My teammates are like, ‘Jordyn, you have to shoot’ and my friends are like, ‘Just shoot!’ I know I have to do it and I don’t like letting people down. It’s frustrating. I just like making ev-eryone happy.”

Last Friday, in a 60-44 win over Otsego, Taylor scored 14 points on 6-of-12 shoot-ing and added a season-high 10 assists, seven steals and fi ve rebounds. Last season she had a school-record 13 assists against Fostoria and 11 steals in the sectional tour-nament against Northwood.

“She passed up a half dozen shots against Otsego,” Gracyk said. “Her assist-to-turnover ratio (53 assists, 22 turnovers)

is great. I counted 14 shots in the Central Catholic game where she didn’t do what was called for to be done.”

That was not meant to be a criti-cism by Gracyk, just a plea for his point guard to look toward the rim more often instead of passing the ball.

“I’m not sure Jordyn likes all the at-tention,” Gracyk said. “She is the hardest

worker I’ve got. She does everything full speed. I have absolutely no complaints there. She is absolutely a respectful, great kid. I just want her to shoot more.”

Taylor, an All-NBC and all-district soccer player last fall, admitted that she doesn’t take shots because she thinks she’s a bad shooter. She merely wants to make sure her teammates stay involved in the of-fense.

“I attack, and then I see an open team-mate,” she said. “My fi rst thought is to pass to them instead of shooting. I guess I have to work on that. I need to become a better leader and I might need to do some-thing more to make our team better. We all just want to win. If someone would score 25 points and we win, we’d all be happy. We’re a good team, not just individuals.”

It isn’t easy being a hockey family. Just ask Ronda and Eric Downard.

Their sons, Cameron and Ian, began playing in the Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association when they were 5. Cameron is now 16 and a junior at Eastwood High School, and Ian, 14, is in the eighth grade. Both brothers play for the Northwest Ohio Eagles club hockey team, coached by Brian Contris.

Cameron and Ian both played travel hockey for the Bowling Green Icecats for fi ve years before landing with the Eagles. This is Cameron’s second year on the team, and Ian’s fi rst.

The Eagles are an independent pro-gram for players age 14-18.

“We’ve only had one other eighth-grad-er,” Contris said. “You’d never pick out that Ian is an eighth-grader. He’s just a strong, stocky kid. I’ve seen him get knocked down one time. He’s not scared to get his nose into anything.”

Ian was a running back on his eighth grade football team and scored nine touch-downs last season for the conference cham-pions. Ronda Downard said she didn’t have any reservations about allowing Ian to play against older competition.

“He is pretty well built and can hold his own,” she said. “He would have been fi ne playing another year in Bowling Green, as a second-year Bantam. He’s a natural ath-lete in football, baseball … He’s pretty solid and I wasn’t too concerned. Sometimes he looks a little small compared to the others, but he can hold his own.”

This season marks the fi rst time the Downard brothers have played on the same hockey team.

“This year’s been wonderful, having both boys on the same team,” Ronda said. “There were times last year where I would be at a tournament in Cleveland and Eric would be at a tournament in Dayton and we’d have to communicate by text message. This year is so much better for us. The boys also have a 10-year-old sister (Taryn) who travels along with us.”

Cameron and Ian are the only two play-

Downard brothers leading Northwest Ohio Eagles

ers from the Eastwood school district who play for the 15-man Northwest Ohio Eagles. The team has players from the Perrysburg, Central Catholic, Bowling Green, Toledo Christian and Liberty-Benton school dis-tricts along with players from Bedford, Erie Mason and Whiteford, Mich.

“We get players by word of mouth,” said Contris, in his 13th season. “We don’t recruit, but that would probably help. This (program) was put together 15 years ago when there were a lot more high school hockey players. We usually have kids who were getting cut from BG, Northview, St. John’s, St. Francis and three or four kids from Eastwood – kids who didn’t have a place to play. We’re open to anybody.”

The Eagles, who were 10-5-2 through

Jan. 2, play an ambitious independent schedule, which ends in mid-February. They captured the Northview Cold Turkey Thanksgiving Tournament title in the var-sity “B” division and played in the Findlay Christmas Tournament on Dec. 26-28.

Two Sundays ago they traveled to the Ohio State Fairgrounds to play Athens (a 7-2 win) and the Northeast Storm (7-2 loss). They played Dayton Stealth on Jan. 4 at Bowling Green State University, and on Jan. 5 they took on North Royalton in Fremont.

“We are always committed to a couple tournaments each year,” Contris said. “Our goal is just to win as many games as we can. There is a club state championship, and we have been ranked in the top 10 in the past.”

Cameron (15) and Ian (2) Downard

“

“I'm not used to playing with him.

It’s a little bit weird. He can hit people.

He’s tough and he's a good skater.

Through 17 games Cameron, a for-ward, has 13 goals (third on the team) and seven assists. Ian, a defenseman, has been solid at his position and has one goal and fi ve assists.

“He is a very big, physical eighth-grad-er,” Contris said. “The boy holds his own. Ian is very smart and makes the right deci-sions on defense. Cameron is just a hustler. He’s a hard skater and a real good position player. He’s always in the right spot.”

Cameron called playing on the same team as his younger brother “different” and said it took a while to get used to.

“I’m not used to playing with him,” Cameron said. “It’s a little bit weird. He can hit people. He’s tough, and he’s a good skater.”

Even though Cameron said he and Ian aren’t that competitive with each other, their mother said it probably helps on the ice that one brother plays offense and the other one plays defense.

“If they were both on the (same) line, there might be more of a competition,” Ronda said. “I don’t see them as being su-per competitive with each other.”

Ian, who has assisted on two of Cameron’s goals this season, said he’s hap-py to be on the same team as his brother.

“It’s been kind of cool, and it’s a lot easier on my parents, of course,” Ian said. “I like playing on the same team as Cam. It’s kind of cool to see him score and get to celebrate with him.”

MAUMEE BAY / MIKE CASEY

MEMORIAL WRESTLING INVITATIONAL

Clay High School Jan. 17-18

RANKED WRESTLERS (BUCKSMANS RANKINGS)Excitement grows for Michael Casey wrestling inviteBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Excitement seems to be building on the internet wrestling Yappi.com for the upcoming Maumee Bay/Michael Casey Memorial Wrestling Invitational at Clay High School, Jan. 17-18. Teams participating include Anthony Wayne, Bath, Bowling Green, Brush, Grove City Central Crossing, Clay, Delta, Findlay, Fremont Ross, Grove City, Liberty Center, Lima Shawnee, Lorain, Madison Comprehensive, Massillon Washington, Maumee, Mt. Vernon, Northwood, Parma Normandy, Perry, Perrysburg, Sandusky, Sylvania Southview, Springfi eld, Tiffi n Columbian and Wauseon. “Perrysburg and Delta will be tough. (They) may not have the depth that Clay has — but will get a number of guys at least to the semis and probably at least a couple each to the fi nals. (170 pound junior Rocco) Caywood moving over to Perrysburg has helped them a lot for tourneys,” one blog-ger wrote. “Of course, Wauseon will be right there contending for the championship. They fi nished ahead of Clay at Brecksville and right now I would have to consider them to be the favorite,” the blogger con-tinued.

After 34 years of teaching and coach-ing, the late Mike Casey had surely become a fi xture and mentor for the Clay High School student body and administration. He was a social studies teacher and athletic director at the Oregon school.

He was a golf coach for 13 years, as-sistant wrestling coach for nine, assistant football coach for six years, and athletic

director for nine. As golf coach, he brought the Eagles their fi rst Great Lakes League championship in 1976. As football coach, he helped the Eagle gridiron squad gain their last GLL title in 1983.

“I think being A.D. is the best job I ever had. I really enjoyed the freedom. In a way it’s kind of like running a small business. You’re kind of the boss and you have a lot of people working for you. All of the coach-

es were really good to work for,” Casey told The Press when he retired in the 1990s.

On that GLL golf championship team he coached were Dave Sekinger, who went on to golf at Eastern Michigan, Jeff Keller, currently a lawyer and Oregon Municipal Court judge, and star golfer John Rimer.

Football players while he was athlet-ic director included Jimmy Harrel, who went on to play at Ohio State and started there at wingback for two years, and Phil McDonald, who went on to star at Illinois at center. Casey told The Press that his thrill was to see these two play against each other in Ohio Stadium.

He couldn’t forget Ted Federici, whom he calls a “legendary” football coach. Clay’s home fi eld at Memorial Stadium is named after Federici.

“Federucci had a great relationship with the kids and parents. They were great years and we had great ‘numbers’,” Casey said.

While he was at Clay, a million dollar renovation of the football stadium, original-ly built nearly 70 years ago, was complet-ed. Another accomplishment he witnessed was the building of a new basketball arena.

He said the football stadium was “a million dollar project that cost the board of education about $300,000. The rest of it was done by the community coming in with equipment, know-how, and skills, do-nations in money, and donations in kind.”

He said one of the biggest changes he saw, in almost all sports, was prep athletes competing year-round. He wanted to see the OHSAA put stronger limitations on the beginning and end of athletic seasons for high school athletes.

Sports Announcements Gibsonburg will host the postponed junior varsity and varsity girls’ basketball team from Ottawa Hills on Jan. 27 with JV tip off at 6 p.m. The JV/V boys’ basketball game with Old Fort at Gibsonburg will be on Jan. 21 with JV starts at 6 p.m.

******** Oak Harbor JV/V girls’ basketball games at home vs. Danbury have been moved to Jan. 28 at Oak Harbor with the JV game start-ing at 6 pm. The 9th/JV/V boys basketball games at home vs. Tiffi n Columbian have been moved to Jan. 21 at Oak Harbor with the freshman game starting at 4:30 pm. Oak Harbor’s wrestling match at Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic has been cancelled.

60th Anniversary

Robert & Helen Prahl

On November 27, 1953 Bob and Helen

Prahl (Dick) of Genoa, Ohio were married in

Akron, Ohio. Sixty years later they celebrated

their 60th wedding anniversary. As a special

surprise, grandson Alex Hausman (along with

his family Ashley and Zella) came from

Edwards AFB, California to help them

celebrate. Grandson Rick Hausman (and his

family Selin and Logan) joined in the surprise.

A party held in their honor was hosted at the

home of daughter and son-in-law, Colleen and

Jim Kusian.

Here's to many more, Mema and Pepa!

nspirational essage of the eek: Healthy Christianity

As Christians, it is all too easy to justify the neglect of our

bodies as the result of our focus on more important

things, such as the salvation of our souls. But, a healthy

body is conducive to both morality and religion, and a frail

or sick body can actually be an impediment to both.

Furthermore, it is very difficult to have a positive attitude

when we are sick, and ill health also tends to make us

self-centered, since all we can think about is how poorly

we feel. On his deathbed, St. Francis of Assisi

apologized to his body, which had been ravaged by years

of harsh and intentional neglect. He died at the age of

forty-five, no doubt in part because of this harsh

treatment of his body. Consider what St. Paul tells us

about sins against the flesh: "Every other sin which a man

commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins

against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18) So, we

should take care of ourselves and work on making our

body healthy and strong; but, we must remain properly

focused and not let our healthy body become a source of

pride. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of

the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,

and you are not your own? New K.J.V. 1 Corinthians 6:19

KRAMER

Happy New Year! My name is Kramer and

I have made the resolution to find a new

and loving home this year. I was picked up

off the cold streets by the kind people at

the Lucas County Canine Care & Control

(FKA Lucas County Dog Warden) and

have been lovingly taken care of while I

wait patiently for a family to come and

adopt me. I promise I will be a good boy! If

you are interested in me or any of my

canine companions please visit the Lucas

County Canine Care & Control - 410 S

Erie St, Toledo, 419-213-2800. Open

Mon-Fri 11-7, Sat & Sun 11-5. You can

view adoptable dogs on our Facebook

page as well as Petfinder.com, and stray

dogs can be viewed on PetHarbor.com.

Remember to purchase a 2014 license for

your dog, stay warm, hug your dog, and

have a safe and fabulous new year.
