The Kansas City-based Midwest Innocence Project is considering the case of convicted child molester Danny Wyatt Newton.

A former Air Force sergeant, Airman Basic Newton, an East Toledo native and 1995 Waite High School graduate, is cur-rently serving a 25-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He and his family in-sist on his innocence and blame the military justice system for making errors leading to his conviction.

AB Newton was found guilty by a jury of enlisted military personnel of attempted sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age, conspiracy to obstruct justice, indecent lib-erties, and sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age during a general court martial proceeding convened at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, on December 21, 2010. The victim was his then-eight-year-old step-daughter.

In addition to his prison sentence, Newton received a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and re-

duction in rank to E-1. Newton has main-tained his innocence since the ordeal began in 2008.

In August after his military appeals were exhausted, Newton fi led a writ to have his pleadings heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court declined to distribute the case to conference. The writ referred to constitutional issues relating to how the military court and military police handled evidence and other issues.

The next recourse seemed to be taking the case to the innocence project network.

“We’ve been looking into the innocence project for some time, but the issue was he had to complete his appeals before they would even consider it,” said Virginia Beach (Va.) Master Police Offi cer Allen Perry, who is helping Newton with legal research. “Once that was done, it was a three to six month wait for them to review the initial application because they review thousands of these things. Just the fact that they have reviewed it and accepted it is a huge boon to us.”

The Midwest Innocence Project is a not-for-profi t corporation dedicated to the investigation, litigation and exoneration of wrongfully convicted men and women in a fi ve-state region. The MIP was founded a de-cade ago through the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and is part of the National Innocence Network.

The MIP claims recent independent studies conservatively estimate that be-tween two and fi ve percent of all inmates in America were falsely convicted, with some estimates reaching up to seven percent.

The MIP adds that after a conviction, it takes roughly seven to ten years for an in-

The Oregon school board plans to ask voters in the fall to pass a 3.95-mill levy to fund school operations. The levy is less than the 5.9 mill levies that voters have previously defeated, most recently in the General Election last November. “We are in need of a levy,” Super-intendent Dr. Lonny Rivera said at a recent school board meeting. “This district, over eight years ago, started with a 5.9 trajectory – it failed. A few years later, another 5.9 at-tempt – it failed. And then, just this past November, a 5.9 – and it failed.” He noted that the vote counts in the previous elec-tions were not even close. “The failures were not close. They were very large,” he said. “Truth be told, and I want this to be very clear, we need a 5.9 levy. But our community seems to be telling us that a 5.9 is not happening.” Rivera said voters may fi nd a smaller levy amount more palatable to support. “The idea of a 3.95 was something that we looked into. It’s not a cure-all for our district. We have some other things that are looming on the horizon that we’re hoping for that will help us maintain what we’re doing for kids. We have some industry that’s moving in that we’re very excited about that will start generating tax monies in 2017. We’re hoping that that will help. And we’re hoping that other spinoffs will come and help supplement what it is that we need to function,” he said. “Some people will say, `You must not need money. You’re dropping from a 5.9 to a 3.95,” he added. “I can tell you with all honesty, in all sincerity, we do need a 5.9, but I have to have something to run the dis-trict. We’ve made some cuts through attri-tion. There’s programs that no longer exist. We started this trajectory way back eight years ago, by removing things that we can live without, so we’re doing a slow bleed.” If there is another levy defeat in the district, more cuts are on the way, he said. “The things I have to look at to recom-mend to the board are things I hold very sacred and very dear to my heart. If we fail in November, then there’s going to have to

nocent person to be exonerated, and the pro-cess is typically expensive. Perry said the non-profi t group will take over all the legal work on Newton’s behalf. The MIP would not confi rm it is con-sidering Newton’s case during a telephone call, but Perry provided The Press written confi rmation via email.

Three-year wait loomsPerry says Newton will have to sit

in prison at least three years before the MIP takes any defi nite action on the case. Meanwhile, Newton and those helping are following up by preparing a more detailed report about the alleged errors that took place during the investigation and trial. “This case is just full of errors — mas-sive errors,” Perry said. “They are just glar-ing and disgusting. I mean, I’m a member of the American criminal justice system, and I’m ashamed of this case. “That’s really hard for me to accept because it’s one of my friends who I know didn’t do this. I know that the lack of quality of the investigation in this case makes me sick. I know that if I had done the same qual-ity of work with the agency that I work with, I would have been brought up on charges — either internal or criminal. That’s my opin-ion.” Perry, who is with the Virginia Beach Police Department crime prevention unit and is the Project Lifesaver coordinator there, says the allegations were originally made in Virginia and believes that is where the jurisdiction should be, not Illinois. “Unfortunately, he can’t sue the mili-tary because he’s a military member, but I believe he’s got a heck of a good case against Child and Family Services in the state of Illinois,” Perry said. “We (he and his wife) were caregivers for (the child) at different times when we didn’t have kids. I’m trained to see child abuse. This isn’t some foreign world — I’ve investigated these same kinds of cases on the street, and the only interview I got was a quick phone call from a Child and Family Services person who asked me my name, address, and how I knew Danny and Sherry, and as soon as she realized that I could give her evidence against the allegations, she ended the phone conversation,” Newton claims. “None of her teachers here were con-tacted to see if any changes were happen-ing in her school work or grades, and they contacted none of her other caregivers, like my in-laws, who lived less than a mile away from where Sherry and Danny lived and they baby-sat (the child) at different times. And, my mother-in-law is a teacher at an elementary school, and she was never con-tacted, even though Sherry and Danny gave them this information. Any information that didn’t meet their criteria for fi nding him guilty, they never bothered with.

“My father-in-law, who was a Major in the army, knew about this when it was go-ing on, and he made a comment about how screwed up the military legal system is.”

Perry alleges the military police vio-lated Newton’s constitutional rights. He said he saw military police get away with pro-cedures that he could never get away as a policeman in a civil setting, such as an al-leged illegal strip search by military police of Newton’s wife, Sherry, before she entered the courtroom.

“I could never in a million years get away with that, and neither can they,” Perry said. “You can’t just go sue them (military police) because they violated your constitu-

tional rights, and it’s not because you joined the military and don’t have constitutional rights. That’s not the case. You don’t burn the constitution when you join the military.”

It began in 2008 when Newton’s step-daughter began telling extended family members that her stepfather was asking her to commit sexual acts. A conversation be-tween the daughter and AB’s Newton’s wife was recorded and found on a computer dur-ing a search.

Newton said during one of two poly-graph examinations, which he passed, that on April 9, 2008, he attempted to call his stepdaughter, who was staying with her maternal grandmother in New York State

during a time he had just returned from a temporary duty assignment in Wichita Falls, Texas.

After receiving no answer, he attempted to call his wife Sherry, an Air Force staff ser-geant stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq. It was during that phone conversation with Sherry, who was crying, that she told Danny his stepdaughter was accusing him of illicit behavior while the family was togeth-er in Virginia. Prosecutors say the incidents continued from August 2005 to April 2008.

On September 30, 2008, AB Newton was approached by the Air Force Offi ce of Special Investigations while at Fort Meade, Maryland. He was given a Miranda warning and was advised that criminal charges were being fi led under Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for indecent acts with a minor. Among letters of clemency written to an appeals court are eight written by family, including his wife, and 32 additional letters written by friends and associates. The major-ity are military personnel. Danny and Sherry met in 1997 and mar-ried in 2001, and her daughter was 4-years-old at the time. Danny, who joined the Air Force in 2002, specialized as a communica-tions radio operator until his arrest.

Road PlanPublic comment sought, draft transportation plan unveiledBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

To see where your tax dollars allo-cated for roads and related projects are going to be spent in the next 30 years or so, you can attend meetings organized by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments. TMACOG is seeking public input on its draft 2015-2045 Transportation Plan for the region, which includes Williams, Defi ance, Paulding, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Wood, Hancock, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Erie counties in Ohio and Hillsdale, Lenawee and Monroe counties in Michigan. The next meetings are scheduled for March 10 at the Way Library, 101 E. Indiana, Perrysburg, and March 12 at the Wood County offi ce building, One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green. The meetings are scheduled from 6:30-8 p.m. A daytime meeting is scheduled for March 13 at the Main Library, 325 Michigan St., Toledo, from noon to 1 p.m. TMACOG planners have compiled a list of what they call priority projects that would be implemented during the next 30 years if funding is available. Based on past funding levels, they believe there will be suffi cient revenues – primarily state and federal funds – for all of the proposed proj-ects. A project to improve access and pe-destrian safety on Navarre Avenue between White Street and Lallendorf Road is second on the list. The estimated cost is $10 mil-lion and construction is projected to occur between 2021 and 2025, A completion of the Oregon bike net-work ranks 44th and has an estimated cost of $1.7 million. It could start as early as 2016. Another project in Oregon and Toledo would construct a path connecting an ex-isting walkway near the Craig Street Bridge along Seaman Road to a trail in Oregon. It ranks 48th and has an estimated cost of about $600,000. Improvements to Tracy Road between State Route 795 and Walbridge Road to ac-commodate heavier trucks as well as add sidewalks rank 54th are on the list. The esti-mated cost is $2 million. Ranking 55th is a proposed project to improve the Tracy Road/Wales Road inter-section to better accommodate truck traffi c with a wider turning radius and traffi c sig-nal. The estimated cost is $1.2 million. In all, there are 154 projects on the list. transit and bikeways.

By Press Staff Writer Without hiring another paramedic, the Lake Township Fire Department will have, in effect, another set of hands to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation during medical emergency runs. The township has acquired a LUCAS (Lund Hospital Cardiac Arrest System) CPR device that will be kept in the Medic 50 ve-hicle, Bruce Moritz, fi re chief, said. Demonstrations of the device and a new Lifepak monitor/defi brillator were held Tuesday at the township administra-tion building following the regular meeting of the township trustees. Ray Lee, a battalion chief with the fi re department, said the LUCAS unit “frees up our people to do other things, It gives good quality CPR. We wear out. This thing doesn’t.”

New EMS equipment demonstrated He said that CPR protocol recommends that persons performing hand compres-sions on a victim’s chest switch every two minutes to keep compressions constant. That isn’t always possible in an ambulance racing to a hospital. EMS units in Lucas County have re-ported a signifi cant increase in survival rates among victims en route to a hospital while using the device, Lee added. New Lifepak units will be kept at the fi re department’s stations in Walbridge and Millbury. Chief Moritz said in addition to de-fi brillating a patient, the unit can monitor heat beats and blood pressure and record carbon dioxide levels in a victim. Electrocardiogram results can be trans-mitted to emergency rooms at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo Hospital, and the University of Toledo Medical Center.

Oregon levy

be some cuts in how we do business. From the last failure, there are over $500,000 in cuts. And we’re making those adjustments in-house to try to not affect our kids and the experiences they have in our district. But after November, if it doesn’t happen, there’s going to be issues of what we’re going to have to do without. And I have to preserve what happens in the educational environ-ment fi rst.” Those cuts would be in the extracur-ricular realm, he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s just something that – if we run out of money, in good con-scious, I can’t allow those things to con-tinue while I do not educate the kids who need a future, who have to fi nd a job, who have to have employment. Those things have to be fi rst and foremost. We’ve lis-tened to our community, we’re not going to try and do another 5.9. We’re going to try and get by with what we can. We’re hoping we get three years out of it. There’s other districts that do this approach – where they do smaller amounts – which is more palat-able to the community. Rivera said the district is doing “great things,” which would be compromised with another levy defeat. “I don’t want those things to stop. At least a 3.95 levy will buy us some time, and with the industry moving in, it may make our situation a little better,” he said. Board Member Dan Saevig agreed. “No one wants to add more taxes if it can possibly be avoided. But when you look at the fi nancial scenarios that are out there, this is a temporary extension for this school district. This is an issue that’s more

than just about our schools. This is an is-sue about the quality of life in our commu-nity. This is the most important thing fac-ing the city of Oregon – the strength of our schools. We need the support of our com-munity so we can ensure a quality educa-tion and quality experience for all of our students. Gov. John Kasich’s two year budget

proposal includes a school funding for-mula that would signifi cantly increase funding to many school districts, including the Oregon City Schools District. However, some of the increase would be offset by the loss in state reimbursements to schools for the phase out of the tangible personal property tax. “Everyone is aware the governor’s

budget did come in,” said Treasurer Jane Fruth. “However, there will be several more changes to the budget before it’s fi nal-ized. At this time, there wasn’t anything signifi cant beyond what we already esti-mated in our fi ve-year forecast, so it really hasn’t changed our fi nancial situation at this time.”

The Robotics Club at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School competed in the re-gional meet in Fargo, ND, the weekend of Dec. 6. The team’s robot fi nished 27th over-all in the competition that included teams from various parts of the United States.

The team qualifi ed by fi nishing sec-ond in the BEST (Boosting, Science, Engineering, and Technology) competi-tion at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, Nov. 8. The group competed against 12 other high school teams through-out the region.

“This was a great accomplishment for our students,” said Eric Siej a, a science teacher at Stritch who was the team’s advi-sor. “There were a lot of obstacles for them to overcome and they were able to do so in a short amount of time and under the stress of a lot of pressure.”

To qualify, students had to design a robot that could pick up and move parts, as well as help build a windmill. In addi-tion to designing and building a working robot that completes these specifi c tasks, students were also tasked with creating a marketing plan and presentation for their work. They also were required to fully doc-ument all their activities and ideas related to the robot.

At the competition in Fargo, students were given the same tasks, but faced much tougher competition and teams that have been competing for much longer than two years.

“Everyone was shocked when we told them this was only our second year of competing in the BEST Competition,” said Sieja. “Everyone kept saying, ‘This is only your second year and you made it here? Whoa.’ That really let us know that we are a lot further along than most teams in our position.”

The Robotics Club is part of the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine) initiative at CSCHS. Any student, whether or not they are enrolled in a STEMM course, may join the Robotics

Chris Babcock used to keep up with daily events by reading newspapers. Now, the 41-year-old former U.S. Marine has adapted his routine. When he’s not commuting between a job in Maumee and his home in Oak Harbor and two oth-er jobs, he fi nds information via his cell phone and the Internet. Babcock is among a growing segment of residents feeling disconnected from the leadership of the Village of Oak Harbor. And, he, like others, believes the vil-lage needs to remedy the situation by fi nd-ing new and productive ways to communi-cate with the community. Babcock ‘s wife, Carrie, joined him at Monday night’s regular council meeting to complain about the new garbage pickup contract that resulted in higher rates and decreased services; elimination of the in-come tax credit and village leaders’ lack-ing effort to keep residents informed about changes impacting their daily lives. She was also among residents who said they were unaware the village is in a desperate fi nancial situation.

“We’re here because of issues. But we’re here because of Facebook,” Chris said, noting a recent callout to attend coun-cil meetings and be heard. The largest crowd in months fi lled all the chairs in the chamber gallery. “Now, it’s all digital.” Babcock’s comments came shortly af-ter village resident Joe Helle proposed the village create a Facebook page to better its relationship with the community. The ad-vent into social media will be discussed along with other issues at a special council meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 12. Helle’s request even included a pro-posed ordinance that he asked village solic-itor James Barney to look over. Public com-ment would not be included so the free site would not have to be moderated 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It would however include the agenda and council minutes. He noted that council followed the law by listing ordinances in the Ottawa County Exponent and that other information could be found in the The Press, The Beacon and the News Herald. Nonetheless meeting le-gal obligations doesn’t truly cover the vil-lage’s real responsibility, he said. “Your generation relied on newspa-pers. My generation does not rely on news-

papers,” Helle told council. “Everything is at your fi ngertips about the world, except for here.” He’s broached the subject private-ly with Village Administrator Randy Genzman. “The administrator feels his of-fi ce may not be able to handle it,” Helle said. Still, Helle pointed to examples of Facebook interaction: The City of Toledo and the Port Clinton Police Department. Sure, Helle said, Toledo has public rela-tions department personnel who run its Facebook page. On the other hand, Port Clinton is much smaller and the depart-ment makes good use of its page to keep tabs on the community and get crime tips. “Facebook is free and it will be here a long time,” Helle added. In rebuttal, Mayor Bill Eberle noted people said the same about MySpace. In addition, he noted the village web-site page has been down for a while because of an upgrade. “Currently it has a third person operating it. We will soon be able to do it in-house,” he said. A community newsletter is also in the works, he said. No date has been confi rmed for the newsletter. “This is not a replacement. This is

in addition,” Helle responded. Facebook would be more user friendly and would spell out village happenings simply rather than in the legalese of the ordinances and resolutions under review by council. “There are people missing out because we are not engaging them,” Helle said. “It’s not your fault people don’t come to these meetings. Be proactive not reactive.” “It’s a whole generation that we are alienating,” Helle insisted. But how many 18-year-olds are in-terested in the village’s operations, Councilwoman Sue Rahm asked. The comment drew a gasp from the gallery of business people assembled. Many mumbled they would if they knew how it would affect them fi nancially and personally. Some like, Michelle Ish, owner of The HR Department, said Facebook, not her website, drew younger people to her business. “It is what it is,” Ish said. Councilwoman Donna Wendt-Elliot said she was not afraid to admit she did not own a computer. And she herself is leery of Facebook and all the things that could go wrong. “It scares me to death,” she said.

Oak Harbor residents urge village to create Facebook page

Club.Only 37 teams in the Midwest quali-

fi ed for the competition and Stritch’s team accomplished the feat in just its second year.

“I’m so proud of our students,” said Sieja. “They came together as a team and made the necessary adjustments to ad-vance. This is a great group of kids who are incredibly committed to making this

work.”In addition to designing and building

a working robot that completes a specifi c task, students were also tasked with creat-ing a marketing plan and presentation for their work. They also were required to ful-ly document all their activities and ideas related to the robot.

The Northern Plains Regional Final was sponsored by North Dakota State

University. The BEST organization is de-scribed on its website as “a non-profi t, vol-unteer-based organization whose mission is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology, and math through participation in a sports-like, sci-ence-and engineering-based robotics com-petition.”

Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School Robotics Club competed in the regional meet in Fargo, ND, the weekend of Dec. 6. The team’s robot fi nished 27th overall in the competition that included teams from various parts of the United States.

Put-in-Bay’s police chief has been placed on paid administrative leave days af-ter the Ohio Attorney General’s Offi ce fi led four charges against him, including one for threatening one of his offi cers with a gun. The most serious charges claim Chief Robert “Ric” Lampela, 53, put a gun to the head of one of his offi cers in 2012 and cov-ered up reports of an alleged sexual assault of a police cadet in 2003. He faces a single charge of aggravated menacing, one count of dereliction of duty and two counts of fal-sifi cation. The charges are misdemeanors, punish-able by up to six months in jail and $1,000 fi nes. Lampela is expected to appear March 25 in Ottawa County Municipal Court. The state attorney’s offi ce fi led the charges Friday. On Monday, Put-in-Bay Mayor Margaret Scarpelli issued a notifi ca-tion that Lampela had been placed on paid administrative leave indefi nitely. Put-in-Bay Village Council will meet Monday and the police department will be discussed. But who is running the island police department presently is unclear. “I have no idea who is in charge,” said Councilman Jeff Koehler, who was not on the island when the news broke. “The two offi cers there are relatively new and they’re not in a position to be chief.” At least two of the council members

Put-in-Bay chief placed on administrative leave

may not be able to make the Monday meet-ing, the councilman said, adding the choice of an interim police chief will likely fall into the hands of the mayor. Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick said Tuesday his department has not been notifi ed who is in charge of the island de-partment in Lampela’s absence. The island police department relies on a skeleton crew during the winter months but expands with a part-time seasonal crew to handle the heavy tourist traffi c at the popular tourist destination. The inexperience of the crew some say was a factor in a number of confrontations between the public and department offi cers in recent years. Complaints about the de-partment and Lampela intensifi ed over the past year, resulting in the sheriff’s offi ce investigation that began last fall and con-cluded in February. In the early weeks of the investiga-tion, Levorchick asked for the assistance of

the Bureau of Criminal Identifi cation and Investigations as well as the attorney gen-eral’s offi ce. The gun charge claims that Lampela brandished a fi rearm at Put-in-Bay Police Offi cer Jeff Herald while the two discussed the Bill of Rights. The scene so stirred an-other nearby offi cer that he unstrapped his duty holster, prepared to draw his gun on behalf of Herald’s safety, according to the report issued by Margaret Tomaro, special prosecutor for the attorney general’s Offi ce. The dereliction of duty charge came about because authorities allege Lampela refused to allow a police report to be fi led in 2003 after two Put-in-Bay offi cers were accused of sexually assaulting a police ca-det at an employee dorm on South Bass Island. Preventing negative publicity for the police department was the intent of ig-noring the assault claim, authorities allege. The two falsifi cation charges are tied to the claim Lampela lied to investigators. He reportedly told investigators that two peo-ple, whose initials are listed in the report, never offi cially reported the sexual assault to him. Tomaro’s report and subsequent charg-es are based on the contents of the sheriff’s offi ce investigation. And while she issued a copy of her report, the sheriff’s offi ce in-vestigation fi les still have not been made public. Levorchick said, at this time, he did not know when his department report would be made available to the public.

The Lake Township trustees Tuesday signed a contract for dispatching service with the Wood County Sheriff’s Department but not before seeking assurances from Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn the transition to having his department handle calls wouldn’t be marred by delays in requests for fi re and emergency medical service. The township and Village of Walbridge have separate police departments but are both covered by the township’s EMS and fi re department. Village offi cials opted to end a dis-patching agreement with the township in favor of a contract with the sheriff’s de-partment that will go into effect later this month. The township’s agreement with the county won’t go into effect until June 9. The trustees expressed concerns about fi re and EMS calls – especially those ema-nating from land line phones – which the sheriff will have to transfer back to the town-ship department. Trustee Melanie Bowen noted that “seconds count” in the event of medical emergencies such as heart attacks. Emergency calls from cell phones already are automatically routed to the county’s dispatching offi ce and Sheriff Wasylyshyn said about 55 percent of all calls are from cell phones – a trend that continues to increase. He said the county’s dispatching sys-tem could tone township radios in the fi re and EMS department as soon as a call is re-ceived to reduce response times. But Bruce Moritz, township fi re chief, noted the coun-ty’s radio signal has been too weak to trip

Lake Township

Dispatching pact with Wood County sheriff signedpagers used by township fi re and EMS per-sonnel because of the distance between the township and Bowling Green. The chief said a repeater to bolster the signal will have to be purchased. The trustees approved a resolution in January to begin the process of ending its dispatching system, which had also covered the City of Rossford, and signing on with the county’s system. The resolution includes an annual cost for the new service of $88,003. However, the county has recently ap-proved wage increases for sheriff’s de-partment deputies and command offi cers, including dispatchers, that will be passed on to entities entering into contracts with the department. Rossford has also recently switched to the sheriff’s department for dis-patching service. Andrew Kalmar, county administrator, said the county commissioners approved increases of 3 percent this year and 2.5 per-cent in 2016 and a wage reopener clause for 2017. Sheriff Wasylyshyn informed the town-

ship trustees he’s hired an additional dis-patcher but it will take about three months to have the dispatcher fully trained. He said it was possible the county could be ready to assume dispatching for the town-ship before June 9. “I want this to be a good partner-ship,” he said, adding the transition with Walbridge has been “smooth.” The dispatching contract the township has with LifeStar is slated to expire at the end of March. Under that agreement, the company staffs the township’s Lemoyne Road dispatching facility. The latest contract was for $262,000 annually and costs were apportioned between Rossford, Walbridge and the township based on call volume. Mark Hummer, township administra-tor, said the township will continue on a month-to-month agreement with LifeStar until June. The trustees on Tuesday also agreed to renew a separate contract with LifeStar for 24-hour paramedic service at $70,000 an-nually for three years.

they’re not in a position to be chief.


Ag NotesAg community breakfast To celebrate agriculture and honor lo-cal producers in honor National Agriculture Week, local ag agencies and sponsors will sponsor an Agriculture Community Breakfast Friday, March 20 at 8 a.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Oak Harbor. The breakfast, open to anyone in the community, will include scrambled eggs, pancakes and ham. The cost is $5. For tickets, contact the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District at 419-898-1595. For more information, call Kathy Booher at 419-898-3631.

Land proposals sought The Ottawa County Commissioners will accept proposals from anyone interest-ed in the agricultural use of approximately 72 acres of land located just off SR 163 on Toussaint South Road near the Industrial Park and Highway Garage in Oak Harbor. Those interested may submit a letter stating the amount they would pay per acre to the Commissioners at 315 Madison St., Port Clinton, OH 43452 no later than March 13 The current contract is for $168 per acre. The highest bid will be considered for a three-year or fi ve-year contract.

Farmers stepping up More than 70 Ottawa County farmers

participated in various cost-share programs to plant cover crops on over 5,000 acres this winter. A cover crop is a sacrifi cial crop that is benefi cial to water quality, soil health and soil productivity. The programs are supervised local-ly by the Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District. Working with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), the Great Lakes Commission, the Ohio EPA, and the USDA, the district has already helped farmers implement best management practices on thousands of acres in the Lake Erie watershed. The voluntary programs reimburse farmers to plant cover crops or install controlled drainage structures. Most farm-ers in the programs planted more acres of cover crops than the cost share that was obtained, providing a larger “bang for the buck.” In addition to reducing runoff of nutrients and pesticides, the practices will allow farmers to manage and maintain the water from their fi elds after harvest and during the growing season, ultimately en-hancing production. Cropland enrolled must be approved by local SWCD technical staff and ODNR Division of Soil and Water Resources area engineers. Farmers and others owning land in Ottawa County are encouraged to contact the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District at 419-898-1595 or at www.otta-waswcd.com and on Facebook.

Tiger Ridge Exotics supporters say testimony from an Ohio Department of Agriculture worker has them fearing that the agency is not taking good care of the 11 animals it seized. Employing a search and seizure war-rant, ODA offi cials removed six tigers, a lion, black leopard, liger, bobcat, cougar and Kodiak bear from Tiger Ridge on a cold Wednesday afternoon in late January. The animals from the Stony Ridge ex-otic animal shelter remain at a holding fa-cility until appeals are heard from 71-year-old owner Kenny Hetrick and his Toledo attorney, Karen A. Novak. In Columbus, administrative hearings over the search and seizure fi nished last week and this week Hetrick begins his ap-peal to have his permitting for the exotic animals restored after it was previously denied by the state. Last week in Bowling Green Wood County Common Pleas Court, Judge Kelsey Reeves ruled against the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s fi ling request-ing the court to dismiss a lawsuit brought on by Hetrick. Last Monday, an ODA worker testi-fi ed that a cougar, Cindy, was bleeding when it arrived at the ODA facility in Reynoldsburg. The ODA acknowledged that the cougar had sore paws and they had put down rubber mats to help them heal, but ODA Communications Director Erica M. Hawkins said the worker exaggerated his testimony. The worker was dismissed by the ODA later in the week, but Tiger Ridge volun-teers praised his testimony on Facebook. “Good for this state employee for speaking up and doing the right thing,” stated a Facebook post attributed to April Green. “I can only hope others will, too. “This whole seizure was unnecessary and these animals need to be back safe, with their caretakers at Tiger Ridge. What happened with Cindy, the Cougar, is unac-ceptable. I hope the truth keeps coming out. The ODA can’t keep covering their asses forever. Please keep Tiger Ridge and their beloved big cats and bear in your thoughts and prayers. Truth has to prevail for the sake of these animals and their family.” A post attributed to Chris Tiefel stated, “I’m not saying the state didn’t overreact, make mistakes, or did things that amount to abuse in their attempt to circumvent the courts and keep the animals for as long as possible. “I’m saying that we should remain skeptical of things, even if they agree with our side, until there is evidence to back it up,” Tiefel’s post continued. “Especially from someone who was fi red coming for-ward with something so infl ammatory...” Hawkins admits that the ODA has nev-er seen so much support for an exotic ani-mal owner who has had his animals taken away. The supporters also posted two photos

showing two big cats in small enclosures with cages, allegedly taken by someone in-side the Reynoldsburg facility. The ODA’s policy is not allowing photographs of the animals inside its $3 million facility. “These two big cats were healthy, happy and well-cared for at Tiger Ridge Exotics,” posted the same April Green. “They lived in large outdoor enclosures, with dens, pools and enrichment. They had wonderful, loving caretakers, Kenny and his daughter Corrina,” the post continued. “Just from observing these photos, the tiger looks to have lost weight and could possibly be pacing ...his cage, a sign of stress. The lion, who’s 25 years old, is also showing signs of stress and perhaps even pain, the way he’s curled up with his face pressed against the cage. “This is not body language of healthy, content animals. These photos show be-havior and body language of animals under physiological and psychological stress. No matter how you feel about exotic animal ownership, you cannot tell me that this is in the best interest of the Tiger Ridge ani-mals.”

ODA says Cindy is healthy Dr. Dr. Melissa Simmerman, one of three veterinarians at the facility, assured The Press that the animals are doing fi ne, contrary to the worker’s testimony and posts on Facebook by Tiger Ridge support-ers. She said one way they can tell the ani-mals are content is that, unbeknownst to many people, large cats often purr just like domestic cats. “Some of them can’t purr and they make a unique sound that is specifi c to them. But, they all make noises that show that they are content,” Dr. Simmerman said. She said the veterinarians there are more than qualifi ed for their care, and they are receiving good care and diet. “Veterinarians are very diversifi ed. In our profession and our knowledge, we are basically equipped with all that we need while in vet school to be able to go out and essentially take care of any species of animals that is out there,” Dr. Simmerman said. “The diet we provide the animals is from a company that a lot of zoos get their diets from, so we make sure that we feed them a diet-specifi c to their species and their needs.” However, the animals are not able to go outdoors at the facility. “We have to keep in mind that our fa-cility is a temporary holding facility,” Dr. Simmerman said. “But, there are skylights built into the facility to allow natural light to come in and we also have all the light-ing factor in the facility on a 12-hour cycle to mimic what we call the natural diurnal cycle — which is basically a 12-hour day-night cycle.” “But we’re taking care of the animals daily, they are being looked at by a vet-erinarian daily, so we’re monitoring their health status to make sure that they are do-ing well back in the building.”

Voting questions To the editor: Would you want Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to be our next president? His tax cuts have left the state with a $283 million defi cit and a projected defi cit of $2 billion by the end of the next fi scal year in July. Bloomberg News reported recently the state will delay $108 million in debt pay-ments due in May – a move that will in-crease the amount Wisconsin has to pay. Would you say this is good leadership? Would you want Jeb Bush to be our next president? His father and brother, George W., dragged this country through national traumas. In a recent speech, Jeb blamed our President Obama for the void that hatched ISIS, which he noted didn’t exist in 2003 at the dawn of the “liberation of Iraq.” Actually his brother’s invasion of Iraq spawned al-Qaeda in Iraq and started this trauma. Bush, Sr. thinks that Jeb will get elect-ed to correct and make up some of W’s mistakes. Bush W. knew nothing about for-eign affairs and his father surrounded him with his own advisers. On the day of Jeb’s speech, he released a list of 21 advisers, 19 of whom had worked in the adminis-trations of his father and brother. The list starts with James Baker. Then there was Paul Wolfowitz, a cheerleader of the Iraq in-vasion and the man who assured Congress that Iraqi oil would pay for the country’s reconstruction. Then there was Michael Hayden, who misled Congress about wire tapping and torture, and Michael Chertoff, then Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who messed up the cleanup ef-forts following Hurricane Katrina. Jeb also praised Henry Kissinger, who advised pro-longing the Vietnam War, which the Nixon Administration thought might help win the 1972 election. Are you impressed with the advisers? Would you vote for Sen. Rob Portman? He was one of 31 Republican senators who opposed the “clean” Homeland Security Department funding bill because it did not address Republican objections to President Obama’s executive order on immigration. Portman didn’t care about protecting the U.S. from terrorism. Now here is a man who really loves his country? He would rather

not fully fund the department so he could get even with our president. Portman needs to uphold his oath of offi ce. He doesn’t work for Tom Zawistowski, executive di-rector of the Portage County Tea party, who was happy with Sen. Portman’s vote. The Republican party needs to start working for all the people. If they can’t do their job, we will vote them out of offi ce.Joann SchiavoneWalbridge

Editor’s note: According to Bob Lang, di-rector of the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau, a recent bureau memorandum in-dicated a $283 million defi cit by June 30 of this year. However, the state has since been informed the Potawatomi tribe will be making a $50 million tribal casino gaming payment that it had withheld in 2013-14, reducing the projected defi cit to $233 mil-lion. The $2 billion projected defi cit fi gure is based on state revenue estimates for the next biennium ending June 30, 2017 and the full funding of all agency budget re-quests. If those requests aren’t fully funded but are kept near their current levels the bureau projects a defi cit in the $600-$800 million range. Schiavone was a volunteer with the Obama for America campaigns.

Don’t ignore stage 4 To the editor: Metavivor, a non-profi t organization for the research of metastatic breast cancer, has held an online campaign titled “Mets Monday” on March 2 to push for an increase in the percentage of fund-ing given to metastatic cancer research. The idea behind Mets Monday was to use social media to bring an awareness to the issue that an extremely deadly disease is signifi cantly underfunded, receiving only 2 percent of breast cancer research funding. Metastatic breast cancer is a type of cancer that spreads rapidly to other areas of the body. Primarily these areas are the lungs, bones and brain. Survival rates are terribly low, being that 97-99 percent of

patients with it will die. Metavivor reports that over 155,000 people worldwide are living with metastatic breast cancer. And with the given survival rates, only around 4,650 will survive. These percentages have remained unchanged since the 1980s. Unfortunately, the disease is not a rare one. Doctor Iman Mohammed, head on-cologist at University of Toledo Medical Center reports that around 30 percent of patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will end up with metastatic cancer down the road. This means that early detection of breast cancer cannot be counted as a cure. In fact, according to Dr. Mohammed, the high survival rates from early detection are manipulative, as they actually only mean an increased chance of survival for the next fi ve years. Metavivor puts 100 percent of dona-tions to metastatic breast cancer research, as research is the only way to fi nd a cure. Metavivor Research and Support Inc. states “We are tired of pink washing and aware-ness. We are tired of talk about ‘warriors’ and ‘winners.’ Metastatic breast cancer is 97-99 percent fatal. We don’t die for lack of fi ghting. We die because research for our disease receives only 2 percent of breast cancer research funds.” Because 30 percent of breast cancer patients will be diagnosed with metastatic cancer, Metavivor would like to see 30 per-cent of funding going toward researching the disease. With a disease so common and so deadly, 2 percent of funds simply isn’t enough to support the research needed to fi nd a cure.Amy BockeyWalbridge

A top priority To the editor: The public is not well informed regarding the costs associated with water and sewer rates. It is the respon-sibility of all municipalities that contract through the City of Toledo for water and/or sewer services to furnish their residents

with access to the rates compiled on the “Octopus Chart.” The chart displays total rates paid by all municipalities. Final cost consists of Toledo’s charge, county or district charge and your com-munity charge. Sewer rates add a very sig-nifi cant amount to our monthly water bill. We run many gallons per month onto our lawns, swimming pools, car washings and drinking water, etc. We pay sewer rates on all those gallons without benefi t of any re-duction in sewer rates. Most municipalities have an option to install a second water meter to avoid the sewer rate on water used via that meter. The second meter is expensive to install and has a monthly minimum charge when not used. Citizens would appreciate a de-termined portion of their water purchases to be exempt from the sewer charge with-out the costs of second meter. TMACOG (Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments) has discussed the need to form a regional water authority to better manage facilities, water resources and the rates we pay. There is a percep-tion that Toledo opposes the creation of a regional water authority. The time has come for all of our may-ors and council members to make our re-gional water and sewer system a consis-tent, top priority. The public appreciates the recent governmental efforts put forth to address the toxic algae bloom. We would appreciate similar efforts in creating the re-gional water authority and addressing the informational issues listed above. Jim ReiterWhitehouse, O.

Dog park needed To the editor: I have visited many cities that have dog parks and now Toledo has a beautiful dog park. I would love for Oregon to have one too. Why do we need a dog park? The answer is simple – if you love dogs you know they need to run free and have fun too. At least mine do.Janice BillingsOregon

Opinion The Press

Too many people who actually set goals often fail to attain them. In this column, I will identify some of the predominant rea-sons this happens. Recognizing the pitfalls of goal achievement enables you to chart a successful course to realizing your dreams. You don’t believe it’s possible to attain your goal. If you don’t believe you can do it, you won’t. Your brain is programmed by your thoughts. When you instruct your mind that your goal is impossible, you will not reach it. You must fi rst believe you can and will achieve your goal before you can do so. You don’t believe you deserve your goal. Your mind subconsciously sabotages attaining anything you feel is not deserved. Any guilt about being successful causes this derailing. Fears of success include the possibility of being criticized, ostracized, or ridiculed by those who have not attained the same goal. You must believe you do deserve your goal before you can achieve it. You listen to naysayers. These nega-tive people always have a litany of reasons you can’t or won’t succeed. They share their opinions with conviction. Listening to them is discouraging, fi lling you with doubt. If you believe their drivel, you’ll abandon your goal. You have a goal that is not yours.

Unattained goals can stem from a variety of reasons

Setting a goal based on someone else’s ex-pectations sabotages success from the out-set. It’s impossible to be passionate about a goal you didn’t pick. Even if you do achieve a goal imposed by someone else, it brings little, if any satisfaction. Your goal must be your own. You have a goal with no perceived val-

ue. When this is case, there is no incentive for the goal’s accomplishment. It’s impos-sible to motivate yourself to work toward an objective with no benefi ts. This issue is often linked to a goal which is not yours. Pick a goal that has clear value to you. You don’t have a plan to accomplish your goal. A goal without a plan is just a wish. Hoping to reach a goal without a plan is pointless. You must have a step by step plan detailing what needs to be done to attain your goal. Each step must also be small enough to be manageable. You don’t take action. Without action, nothing happens. You can have a burning desire along with a detailed plan, but un-less you take action nothing will be accom-plished. Successfully reaching your goal requires consistently taking one step after another until you arrive at your destina-tion. You are not productive. Productivity is taking action which brings you closer to your goal. Activity is being busy without making forward progress or being involved in activities not goal related. Keep track of the progress made towards your goal. Eliminate unproductive activities. You give up. Setbacks are a normal part of reaching a goal. Failure is guar-anteed only when you give up. Get right

back up whenever you stumble and fall. Learn from mistakes. Make adjustments as needed. Determination and persistence is essential for success. You don’t apply enough effort. A half-hearted try isn’t effective. Anything worth-while takes effort. Without suffi cient effort, you will give up at the fi rst obstacle. Rather than trying to accomplish a goal, make a commitment to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to reach your destination. You tackle too many goals at once. Working on too many objectives simultane-ously dilutes your effectiveness. Although having many goals is good, you need to pri-oritize the order in which you will accom-plish them. Working on too much at once reduces your productivity. You can accomplish your goals. Avoid these pitfalls. Identify your goals, formu-late a plan, and then take action. Drive, dis-cipline, and determination are important keys to your success.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Circle of Grace almost broken at talk on Islamic terrorism


““If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too.

The evening started out as a graceful conversation between a Muslim and close to a hundred Christians. It did not end that way. One man told the crowd he is afraid millions of radical Islamists want to come to America to behead us infi dels. He told the Muslim speaker he was not a true Muslim. Another young man started reading a six-page tract written by evangelical mis-sionary David Wood on the “true” evil intent of the Quran. He wouldn’t stop de-spite shouts to sit down. Reverend Bob Ball approached him face-to-face, pled with him to stop, and reminded him this was a “Circle of Grace” evening. He urged the man to join him in prayer. But, it was to no avail. The man ram-bled on. The event Wednesday evening at Rossford United Methodist Church was the second in a series of conversations about some of the most misunderstood groups in our country: Muslims, Hispanics and Afro-Americans. The talks are designed to be “graceful” conversations to examine how we can better understand and live in har-mony with those from different cultures, races or religious backgrounds. As you can see, graceful conversation is needed. We can’t go to war against 1.9 billion Muslims. We need ways to differen-tiate friend from foe. Dr. Sayed Amjad Hussain, a Pakistan native, author and past president of the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, was the guest speaker and he attempted, in a grace-ful way, to provide insight into Islam. He talked about our common ground. “If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too. We have something in common… We need to band

together against this menace,” he said. Dr. Hussain said the invasion of Iraq was not justifi ed. It was a mistake predi-cated on the false premise that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. “However,” he added, “Even though we as a nation are war weary, unless America leads the way to stop and eliminate the Islamic State, it will proliferate and this is the time to go and face that menace.” Dr. Hussain said we need to understand the motivation of various radical Islamic groups and individuals. What drives ISIS is not the same motivation that drove the men who massacred 132 children in his hometown of Peshawar, Pakistan, and it is not the same motivation for the men who killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo, the Paris satiri-cal magazine.

The motivations are also different in Iraq and Syria. But all this violence is precipitated by Muslims, so it gets fi xed as “Islamic Terrorism” in the American conscience, Dr. Hussain said. Sometimes the violence has little to do with Islam and more to do with living conditions, power or self-determination. More than 60,000 Muslims in Pakistan have been killed by other Muslims, he said. The Charlie Hebdo attack was to avenge the prophet Mohammed who had been depicted unfavorably in a number of cartoons. Dr. Hussain said Muslims believe Mohammed to be a “near perfect” human and we need to understand ridicule of the prophet causes great pain to a Muslim. He likened the pain to that which Christians felt in 1987 when the artist Andres Serrano submerged the image of Christ on the cross in a glass of urine. Freedom of speech should not be sac-rosanct, he said. There are limitations for li-bel, slander, sedition, obscenity, incitement and hate speech. That said, Dr. Hussain is curious about the violent reaction to deni-grating the prophet Mohammed. He said Mohammed many times walked away from those who ridiculed him. “So I ask, if the man who is at the center of this discus-sion and controversy had the magnanimity to walk away when he was being insulted by his family, why don’t people walk away now and follow his example?” Muslims have had more than 1400 years of living peacefully with other cul-tures and religions and they have been as-similated in the melting pot of America. But, the perception of Muslims changed in 2001. Dr. Hussain told the story of a friend who, the day after the World Trade Center attacks, entered the neighborhood he had lived in for 35 to 40 years. His neighbor re-

treated when he saw him on the street and later told him he did so because he was fearful that all Muslims were fanatical. “Thirty-fi ve to forty years of living in the same neighborhood meant nothing, but that one broadcast on television meant ev-erything.” Can the image ever be repaired? Dr. Hussain is doubtful. He hears a fearful American public saying this about moderate Muslims, “If they’re not terror-ists, if they’re not fanatics, why don’t they speak up? And if they speak up, why don’t they speak up often enough? And if they speak up often enough why don’t they speak up loud enough?” Many Muslims are frustrated. All the leading Muslim organizations in the world condemn terrorism, but this message is not getting the same play in the media that gruesome acts of terror do. Stereotypes and hate dissipate with knowledge and communication. As the world gets smaller and more dangerous through technological advances, there is not a congregation in America that couldn’t benefi t from these Circles of Grace conver-sations. The rest of the schedule is: March 11: Rev. Lawrence Keeler on “Racism and Prejudice”; March 18: Lucy Mendoza, a Peru na-tive, on “The Hispanic Experience in America”; March 25: Rev. Larry Whatley on “The Black Experience in America”. All events are at Rossford United Methodist Church and start at 7 p.m. If you go, enter the double doors accessed from the parking lot at 270 Dixie Highway. Reservations are not needed.

11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure a success

Sober Living Home to become a reality in Ottawa CountyThe nonprofi t Light House Sober

Living Inc. has found a location and is moving forward with plans to provide the Ottawa County community with a safe and secure home offering hope, healing and life to men in recovery. The effort began three years ago when a group of community leaders and con-cerned citizens were brought together, led by Judge Bruce Winters. The group was formed under the Leadership Ottawa

County program, with the goal of creating the fi rst sober living community in the area. The nonprofi t organization, comprised of an executive board advisory committees (all unpaid positions) and two (paid) em-ployees, has purchased property located at 515 E. Fifth St. in Port Clinton, and plans are under way to open a Level 2 Recovery Residence later this spring. The house will be able to accommodate up to 10 male resi-dents in recovery.

Prior to the opening of the home, Light House will continue to fi nalize members of the board and hire employees. The board, along with the advisory committee, will develop agency policies and procedures, create budgetary guidelines, oversee com-mittees and vote on decisions pertaining to the operation of the agency. Funding for Light House Sober Living comes from two major sources — a match fund grant from the Ohio Department of

Mental Health and Addiction Services along with contributions from the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Erie and Ottawa Counties. The home will operate solely as a re-covery home and will partner with existing community agencies to offer resources and a holistic approach to life and recovery. To learn more about Light House Sober Living, to volunteer or to make a donation, contact Judy Flood at [email protected].

Maria Maluchnik founder of Cheer for a cure and her sister Valerie Widmer. (Submitted photo)

The 11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure was held at Genoa High School on Feb. 21. More than 90 squads from area schools as well as a school south of Columbus and one from near the Cleveland area attended the event. Cheer For A Cure is a yearly cheerlead-ing, dance troupe competition started by Maria Maluchnik to honor the memory of her mother, Stella Bertz, who had been the cheerleading coach at Genoa High School for over a decade. Each year Eva Dayringer, of Fremont, who is Maluchnik’s aunt makes a blanket to be presented to someone in the community dealing with cancer in their lives. The blan-ket is specially created with the recipient’s personality and interests taken into consid-eration. As each knot is tied on the blanket, Mrs. Dayringer prays for the person receiv-ing the blanket. This year’s recipient was 9-year-old Valorie Newton, of Walbridge, along with her mother, Diana was present to receive the blanket. The event continues to be an over-whelming success for many reasons, thanks to the dedication of the many volunteers who help each year. The day-long event raises money for cancer research and helps families deal-ing with cancer in their lives. This year’s event raised over $40,000. Learn more at CheerForACure.org.

Become an everyday hero The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to become everyday heroes by giving blood in celebration of

Red Cross Month this March. Since 1943, every president has des-ignated March as Red Cross Month – a time to recognize those who support the Red Cross. Local communities depend on the Red Cross, which relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfi ll its hu-manitarian mission. It doesn’t take a cape or superpowers to be a hero. By donating blood, eligible donors can help save the lives of patients in need. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by or-ganizing a blood drive, volunteering to as-sist with Red Cross activities, or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp and asking others to make a lifesaving donation. Upcoming blood donation opportuni-ties include: Oregon – March 20, 1-6 p.m., Heritage Church, 1640 South Coy Rd. Gibsonburg – March 21, 8:30-1:30 p.m., Zion Lutheran Church, 500 S. Brentwood. Curtice – March 31, 4:45-9 p.m., Jerusalem Elementary School, 535 South Yondota Rd. Oak Harbor – 12:30-5:30 p.m., Oak Harbor United Methodist Church, 360 E. Ottawa St. American Red Cross Toledo Blood Donation Center 3510 Executive Pkwy, Toledo, – Monday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m.; Friday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identifi cation are re-quired at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Currie named minority Amber Currie, MPH, CHES, has joined Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio as Minority Breast Health Coordinator,

Currie previously served as a Health Education Volunteer for the Center for Health and Successful Living. She holds a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Michigan-Flint and a Bachelor of Science from Grand Valley State University. In her position, she will be responsible for the Mission for Minority Breast Health project, funded through a grant that Komen Northwest Ohio was awarded through a partnership with Walgreens. The project aims to improve breast health equity among African American and Hispanic/Latina women in Allen, Erie and Lucas counties. The project is community-based, aimed at building individual and community capac-ity through outreach, education, social sup-port, and advocacy. “I’m so honored and excited to be work-ing for Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio,” Currie said. “I look forward to managing the project and working with the African American and Hispanic/Latina communi-ties to improve breast health outcomes in Lucas, Allen, and Erie counties.” For more information about Susan G. Komen, call 419-724-CURE or 1-877-604-CURE, or visit www.komennwohio.org.

Preventing overdose deaths State Rep. Steve Kraus (R-Sandusky) applauded the passage of a bill through the House of Representatives that takes further steps to curtail the opiate drug epidemic in Ohio. House Bill 4 expands access to nalox-one, a medication used to protect an indi-vidual experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose. Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids during an overdose, which can ef-fectively shut down a person’s respiratory system. “I’m happy to support H.B. 4, which gives fi rst responders another tool to save lives,” Kraus said. “The drug epidemic plaguing Ohio has taken many of our loved ones, and I think this bill is a step in the right direction in curbing the drug problem in our state.” As amended in committee, the legisla-tion also now requires the Ohio Department of Health to create a model protocol for nal-oxone and gives it permission to sell the medication wholesale to law enforcement offi cials. Health departments will also have the ability to issue naloxone protocols through their medical director or health commissioner. House Bill 4 passed with bipartisan support on the House fl oor and it will now head to the Senate for further consider-ation.

Question: I’m gathering everything I’ll need to fi le my taxes this month. Do I have to pay taxes on Social Security benefi ts? Also, where can I get a replacement 1099? Answer: Some people who get Social Security must pay federal income taxes on their benefi ts. Still, no one pays taxes on more than 85 percent of their Social Security benefi ts. You must pay taxes on some portion of your benefi ts if you fi le an individual federal tax return and your combined in-come exceeds $25,000. If you fi le a joint return, you must pay taxes if you and your spouse have combined income of more than $32,000. If you are married and fi le a separate return, you probably will have to pay taxes on your benefi ts. You can read more about tax preparation in relation to Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/taxes.htm. Social Security ben-efi ts include monthly retirement, survivor, and disability benefi ts. They don’t include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pay-ments, which are not taxable. You can also get a replacement 1099 or 1042S when you open your own personal “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

Question: I know I shouldn’t carry my Social Security card with me, and I always

Social Security answers commonly asked questionskeep it in a safe place. Somehow, I lost it. How do I get a replacement card? Answer: As long as you know your Social Security number, you probably don’t need a replacement. For most purposes, your number is your card. If you do need to get a replacement, you can do so for free. Although you can’t apply for a card online, you can learn what identifi cation docu-ments you’ll need, and you can fi ll out the replacement card application at www.so-cialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

Question: I’ve been planning my retire-ment throughout my career, and I’m fi nally nearing the age when I can stop working. What is the earliest age I can start receiv-ing Social Security retirement benefi ts? Answer: You can receive Social Security retirement benefi ts as early as age 62. Keep in mind that if you retire at age 62, we’ll reduce your benefi ts by as much as 30 percent of what you’d get if you wait until your full retirement age. If you wait until your full retirement age (66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), you’ll get your full benefi t. You can also wait until age 70 to start your benefi ts. Then, we’ll increase your benefi t because you earned delayed retirement credits. When you’re ready to apply for retire-ment benefi ts, use our online retirement

application, the quickest, easiest, and most convenient way to apply. Visit www.so-cialsecurity.gov/retireonline.

Question: I want to make sure I have enough credits to receive Social Security retirement benefi ts when I need them. How can I get a record of my Social Security earnings? Answer: The best way for you to check whether you have earned enough credits (40 total, equaling 10 years of work) is to open a free “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to review your Social Security Statement any time you want. Once you create an account, you can: • Keep track of your earnings to make sure your benefi t is calculated correctly. The amount of your payment is based on your lifetime earnings; • Get an estimate of your future ben-efi ts if you are still working; • Get a replacement 1099 or 1042S. • Get a letter with proof of your ben-efi ts if you currently receive them; and • Manage your benefi ts: • Change your address; and • Start or change your direct deposit.

Question: I’m applying for disabil-ity benefi ts, and I read about “substantial

gainful activity.” What is that? Answer: The term “substantial gain-ful activity,” or SGA, is used to describe a level of work activity and earnings. Work is “substantial” if it involves doing sig-nifi cant physical or mental activities or a combination of both. If you are working and earn more than a certain amount, we generally consider that you are engaging in substantial gainful activity. In this case, you wouldn’t be eligible for disability ben-efi ts. You can read more about how we de-fi ne substantial gainful activity at www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html.

Question: My mother receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI) ben-efi ts. She’ll be going to live with my sister next month. Does she have to report the move to Social Security? Answer: Yes, she should report any change in living arrangements to us within 10 days. Failure to report the change could result in an incorrect SSI payment that may have to be paid back. Also, we need her cor-rect address so we can send her important correspondence about her SSI benefi ts. She can easily change her address by accessing her personal “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. She can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

It never fails – like clockwork, that ear-ache or pesky cough seem to fl are up just after dinner or on the weekend – when your family doctor is not available. For those times when you need to see a doctor but symptoms don’t warrant a trip to the emergency room, ProMedica has opened “AfterHours” at ProMedica Bay Park in Oregon. The medical offi ce opened Feb. 16 in Suite 100 in the Professional Offi ce Building, 2751 Bay Park Dr. Hours are weeknights from 6-11 p.m. at weekends from noon-7 p.m. Closed holidays. A sec-ond AfterHours, located in the ProMedica Perrysburg Medical Center, Suite 120, 1601 Brigham Dr., is open the same hours, 365 days a year. AfterHours is staffed by certifi ed nurse practitioners who can di-agnose conditions, perform physical as-sessments and prescribe medication. It is designed to serve as an extension of care provided by a family doctor, offering same-day treatment for minor illnesses includ-ing: • Ear, nose and throat infections; • Cough or fever; • Typical headaches; • Allergies; • Mild asthma attacks; • Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; • Bladder infections; • Rash or insect bites (without fever); • Pregnancy testing. Sports physicals and limited lab test-ing are also available. “Our aim is to be an extension of your family doctor when you need high-quality care for conditions such as fl u, rashes and infections during non-traditional business hours,” said Cindy Edwards-Tuttle, certi-fi ed nurse practitioner and vice president of advanced practice providers. AfterHours providers can connect electronically to ProMedica physicians, allowing them to access patients’ medical histories and medications. After offi ce vis-it, the patient’s primary care provider will be contacted for necessary follow-up care. For those who are not patients of ProMedica Physicians, the clinic can send a courtesy notice regarding the visit to the patient’s primary care physician. AfterHours accepts most major health plans, including Paramount Health Care, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Medical Mutual of Ohio, UnitedHealthcare, and others. Patients are advised to check with their insurance provider to confi rm that their insurance is accepted.) The co-pay is the same as any doctor’s offi ce visit and can be paid with cash, check or credit card during the offi ce visit. Walk-ins are welcome or call during the hours of operation to make an appoint-ment. Call 419-690-7622 for information or to make an appointment.

It seems highly unlikely, given where they are competing this weekend, but Clay’s wrestling team could have as many as 13 individuals competing at the state tourna-ment March 12-14 at the Schottenstein Center Columbus.

The Eagles advanced fi ve wrestlers last year and took fourth place at the Division I tournament. They took eight wrestlers in coach Ralph Cubberly’s fi rst year with the program (2010-11). This weekend, they competed in the meat grinder that is the D-I district tournament at Cleveland State University. Other participating teams in-clude state powers such as Lakewood St. Edward, Wadsworth, Elyria and Brunswick.

“This is a big one, a tough one,” Cubberly said. “It’s the toughest district in the state for Division I. All these kids are going to have obstacles to climb over. (Richie) Screptock, if things go right, will have to beat the kid he beat in the fi nals of the state meet last year, just to be a district champ.”

Screptock, a senior 138-pounder who won last year’s state title at 132, was one of nine individual champions for the Eagles at last week’s sectional tournament at Clay. He and his 12 teammates who advanced will have a lot of work to do in the practice room this week, Cubberly said.

“We will work on technique and mental preparation,” the coach said. “Things like fi nishing periods on top, scoring points at the end of periods, keeping pressure on kids and watching stalling calls. Those are things that win one-point matches, and there’s go-ing to be a lot of them from here on out.”

The Eagles claimed their eighth straight sectional crown a week ago, following their seventh straight conference title. Clay has never won a district title.

Cubberly said he envisioned the Eagles garnering 9-10 individual sectional crowns last week.

“We got the guys I thought would be champs,” he said.

In addition to Screptock, the Eagles who advanced to districts after win-ning sectional titles are sophomore Nick Henneman at 113 pounds, freshman Garret Anderson (120), junior Calixtro Mondragon (132), junior Lorenzo LeVally (152), senior Andy Howard (160), junior Matt Stencel (195), senior Tyler Koester (220) and fresh-man Nick Daly (285).

The other four Clay wrestlers who ad-vanced are seniors Kevin Witt (182) and Mike Ummel (145), junior Hunter McNutt (170) and freshman Mason Jaquillard (106).

Cubberly said Screptock (35-4) is wres-tling better than at any time in his career. Screptock recorded three pins at the sec-tional tournament.

Along tourney trail, mental preparation key for Eagles

“He’s just dominant,” Cubberly said. “He understands position like no other.”

Henneman (34-9), who was a No. 1 seed at sectionals, is peaking at the right time, according to Cubberly.

“He’s looking really good, really tough,” Cubberly said. “He’s a real physical wrestler. All three of his brothers wrestled at Clay and never went to state. Nick wants to be the fi rst one to do it.”

Anderson has compiled a 33-10 record as a freshman, while Mondragon is 34-10.

“Garret never gets out of position and is just a solid, hard-nosed wrestler,” Cubberly said. “He’s a surprise for us. I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was as good as he is. Calixtro is very, fast. He has fast-twitch muscles and is super quick and hard to defend.”

Mondragon and LeVally, who both wrestled for the Eagles’ Green team last year, are taking advantage of their positions on the Gold team this season. LeVally (30-12) won the TRAC tournament as a No. 3 seed.

“Lorenzo and Calixtro are just solid, hard-nosed wrestlers,” Cubberly said. “(LeVally) beat the No. 1 seed in the (sec-tional) fi nals, a kid from Waite who was

“His strength is his experience...He

overwhelms kids with his speed and

quickness.

42-8.”Cubberly warned not to be fooled by

Howard’s 27-15 record.“He’s been a wrestler since he was in

like second grade,” Cubberly said. “He has a lot of losses, but he’s wrestled some pretty stiff competition throughout the season. He was second in the TRAC and was a sec-tional champion last year at 160. He’s been there before. Hopefully he can take the next step to state this year.”

Stencel (37-1) hasn’t lost since Clay’s second tournament of the season, at the Ironman Invitational, and that was by just one point. Stencel, a state runner-up at 182 last year, had three pins including one fall in eight seconds at sectionals.

“He’s on fi re,” Cubberly said. “He’s wrestling really well.”

Koester (23-8) defended the sectional title he won last year, when he was one vic-tory away from advancing to the state tour-nament.

“He’s wrestling real well,” Cubberly said. “He had a pretty good kid in the (sec-tional) fi nals and wrestled well and beat the kid. He’s just solid and hard to score on, and he’s big and strong.”

Daly (27-4), the freshman heavyweight, used the second-place fi nish he earned at the TRAC tournament to propel him to a sectional title. The somewhat undersized Daly weighed 243 pounds at sectionals.

“He’s defi nitely a surprise,” Cubberly said. “His strength is his experience. He’s a freshman, but he’s been wresting since the fi rst grade. He wrestles like a smaller kid. He overwhelms kids with his speed and quickness.”

After winning five consecutive league titles from 2007-11, Oak Harbor had fallen short the last three years in its quest to get back to the top of the Sandusky Bay Conference. This year, the Rockets finally got over the hump, winning its 21st league title con-vincingly. The Rockets had five champions and its 13 wrestlers all finished third or better in the 14 weight classes. Individually, the team had two place second and six come in third. Oak Harbor, which finished SBC run-ner-up a year ago, finished with 189 points, 24 more than Edison (165). Perkins, the two-time reigning league champions, came in third with 134½, followed by Clyde (94), Margaretta (87½), Huron (44) and Port Clinton (3). The next week, at the Division II sec-tional, the Rockets fi nished second out of 16 teams, scoring 198½ points to fi nish be-hind champion Central Catholic (210). It was only a matter of time before the Rockets got back to the summit. For Coach George Bergman, it was his seventh SBC championship in 23 years. “It’s very, very diffi cult with all these great programs,” he said. “We weren’t pre-dicted to win it. It’s very satisfying, espe-cially for our fi ve seniors to win a league championship. The guys performed under pressure — I didn’t anticipate having fi ve champions. We won 11 of 13 matches in the fi nals. Those 13 guys are all working hard at the mat and it shows. I wouldn’t expect to see 13 guys fi nishing in the top three.” Those fi ve seniors are Nick Bergman, Jeremy Balboa, Ben Petersen, Brody Hennig and Steve Simkus. Balboa, Petersen and Simkus, were league champions, as were Petersen’s cousin, Rhett, and Bruce Hrynciw. Hrynciw (19-1) won the title at 113 pounds, pinning Perkins’ Emilio Calderon in three minutes, 53 seconds before defeat-ing Edison’s James Kaniarz by technical fall, 18-3, in the fi nals. It was the second league title in as many years for the sopho-more. “We were fairly confi dent with Bruce,” Coach Bergman said. “He had some prob-lems making weight. It’s just nice to see him back on the mat with his ability and see him to do so well.” Balboa (138) avenged a tough loss in last year’s fi nal, beating Edison’s Alex Nueberger, 7-1, in the semifi nals before holding off Perkins’ Matt Salmon, the top seed, in the fi nals, 7-4. He also achieved an important milestone along the way, picking up his 100th career victory. “Jeremy wasn’t the No. 1 seed and the other guy was a league champion last year,” Coach Bergman said. “He wrestled a smart match and came out with the win.” At the sectional meet, Balboa (29-14) was runner-up behind 2014 state champion and East Toledo resident Nate Hagan (39-5), who wrestles for Central. Both advanced to the district meet.

Petersen cousins generate excitement Oak Harbor junior Rhett Petersen (145) had the most exciting victory at the SBC, and it came in his 2-1 win over Huron’s

Tommy King in the fi nals, enabling him to avenge a loss in the fi nals from last year. Petersen executed a reversal with just eight seconds remaining to account for his only points. His semifi nal victory also came in dramatic fashion when he edged Perkins’ Trentyon Adkins, 5-4, and the win before that was a pin against Port Clinton’s Deagan Beach that came in 1:26. “I had to keep his leg from getting in-side and I was able to get the reversal,” said Petersen, who had set out several weeks with an injury before returning for the SBC meet. “It feels good because growing up we always saw the older guys winning the league. It’s good knowing we got it back.” Peterson (28-6) was third at the sec-tional and advanced to districts. Rhett’s cousin, Ben, who fi nished eighth in the Division II state meet last year at 152, beat Perkins’ Seth Boggs, an All-Ohioan, 6-3, in the SBC fi nals. Boggs defeated Margaretta’s Deven Taylor by major decision, 12-2, in the semifi nals, handing Taylor just his second loss of the season, and Petersen pinned Clyde’s Alec Montgomery in just 48 seconds before ad-vancing to face Boggs. “Boggs was state runner-up last year and Taylor had one loss,” Coach Bergman said. “That was one of the better weight classes. For Ben to win, that is impressive.” At the sectional meet, Ben Peterson (35-9) fi nished third — good enough to ad-vance. The Rockets’ other SBC champion was Simkus (182), who won his class easily, de-feating two opponents by a combined score of 26-2. Simkus beat Clyde’s Ryan Kelley by major decision, 12-1, before defeating Nick Hiss, also by major decision, 14-1, in the semifi nals. Simkus, who had a good year in football, has come a long way since fi rst joining the wrestling program in eighth grade. Simkus (28-11) fi nished fourth at the sectional, just good enough to advance. “He’s come so far,” Coach Bergman said. “Here he is winning a league title. That just shows how much work he’s put in. It was cool to see that happen.” Junior Brandon Garber (285) fi nished second, losing in the SBC fi nals, 3-2, to Clyde’s Collin Mange, and sophomore Dylan Mansor (120) fi nished second, too. Overall, there were six Rockets who fi n-ished in third place at the league meet: senior Nick Bergman (126), sophomore Trevor Scherf (132), Hennig (160), sopho-more Kian Thompson (170), sophomore Dylan Thorp (195) and Peyton Salyers (220). “Peyton Salyers weighed in at 188 and we put him at 220,” Coach Bergman said. “He’s underweight, he’s a sophomore that just started wrestling and I’m so impressed with his competitiveness. To get third place, that’s huge. At 195, Dylan Thorp was undersized, and he almost made the fi nals and lost in overtime to a very good opponent. He was losing, 5-0, and got a pin to fi nish third. He weighs in at 182 and he wrestles at195. He’s just a sophomore.” At the sectional meet, Garber (28-10) was Oak Harbor’s lone champion. Mansour (24-7) fi nished second, Hennig (27-15) and Scherf (30-13) were third, Nick Bergman (23-9) and Thompson (32-9) fi nished fourth, and all will advance. Thorp (27-13) was sixth. Oak Harbor advanced to the regional fi nals of the Division III state duals before losing to the eventual state champion Delta.

Bowen, Henry named conference Player of the YearBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Two local senior guards, Connor Bowen (Lake) and Ramiah Henry (Waite) were named Player of the Year by their respective leagues. Bowen, the Northern Buckeye Conference POY, is joined on the fi rst team by Eastwood senior post Zach Jacoby, Genoa senior guard Luke Rightnowar and Lake senior guard Jared Rettig. Bowen averages 21 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 steals and four rebounds, plus he is the all-time Lake career scoring leader with 1,445 points heading into the tournament. He also has over 600 assists and over 400 steals and holds nine school records. The Flyers shared the NBC title with Rossford. The Flyers and Bulldogs were both 13-1 in the league while Lake was 19-3 entering its sectional fi nal contest against Rogers Friday. Local second team selections are Woodmore senior guards Grant Weis and Drew Lewandowski, Eastwood senior guard Noah Smith and Lake junior guard Brandyn Neal. Honorable mention picks are Lake junior guard Jake Rettig, Genoa senior post Noah Goodrich, and Eastwood senior post Tim Hoodlebrink. Henry is Waite’s only player recognized on the Toledo City League fi rst team, but her teammates Alycia Matney and Letrecia Williams are honorable mention. Henry was selected as the conference’s top player even though Waite fi nished 1-20 overall and 1-9 in the conference. The 5-foot-7 Henry, a four-year varsity player, is also second team all-district. She averaged 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds, shot 45 percent from two-point range and made 69 percent of her free throws. She also had 70 assists, six blocked shots and 86 steals. “Ramiah is a player who improved her game every year. She has done everything the coach has asked her to do without complaint. ‘Moose’ stays in the gym late and comes early to work on her and her teammates’ game,” Waite coach Manny May said. “Her focus is on improving every aspect of her game, as well as her teammates. I ask her to bring the ball down

the court and set up the offense. When we are struggling to score and rebound, she’s our go-to player. She is what makes Waite go. Ramiah can fl at out play. Ramiah is a leader on and off the court. She has a great attitude accompanied with great leadership qualities.” Decker, two divers place Oak Harbor diver Cooper Hicks fi nished ninth at the Division II state championships, scoring 372.6 points in the fi nals, scoring nine points for the Rockets. In the D-II girls diving championships, Oak Harbor’s McKenzie Pluto fi nished 17th and Waite diver Anna Campos was 18th in the D-I championships. Eastwood junior Alyssa Decker made it back to the consolation fi nals in both of her swimming events she qualifi ed for. She swam her personal best in the 200 IM and very close to her PR in 100 fl y. She fi nished 15th in the IM (58.73) and 14th in the fl y (2:12.3), but only two and a half seconds were spread between fi rst place and 16th place in the fl y. Decker scored a combined fi ve points with her fi nishes. Decker credits her coach, Carolyn Strunk, who has been teaching her the sport since she was 7-years-old, with instilling confi dence and training her to be ready for major events. At the district meet, Decker swam the 200 IM and the 100 fl y,

two grueling events, and was part of two Eastwood relay teams. “I trust in my coaches a lot in the aspect that physically they’ll get me ready and they’ll build up my endurance. Mentally, I have to refocus every time and tell myself that I’m not tired. This is it. I have to go after it, regardless. Back when I did USA Swimming and swam six events in one day, you’d be tired, but when you want something really bad, that’s what matters. “It’s not just physically, but mentally, too. They have taught me a lot on confi dence and that, it’s not all physical, it’s some mental.” Decker, who also plays volleyball and runs track, has been instrumental in helping to build the school’s swim program, which saw two relay teams and two other swimmers, Bethany Nabors and Natalie Reidling, advance to districts. “It was great seeing the girls at sectionals drop even more time at districts. It was almost shocking, but in a good way,” Decker said. “After that, I think the girls thought, ‘I can’t wait to come back next year.’ That’s what we as captains were hoping for. Nothing’s better than seeing them do well and want to come back next year.” (— Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith)

ear and convinced him to give wrestling one last shot his se-nior year. Henline (38-10) fi nished third at the sectional and also qualifi ed for districts.

“He always wanted me to wres-tle and do a sport together,” LeJeune said. “I usually just came to the weight room to lift and I would see the wres-tlers. One Friday at school I was talking to Dan and he said, ‘Just come to practice and watch the team wrestle on Saturday. If you don’t want to do it, don’t come back on Monday.’”

LeJeune played football but suffered a severe knee injury halfway through his junior season. The then 305-pound defen-sive tackle decided to skip his senior year of football, for fear of re-injuring his knee.

Kaysie Brittenham pushed herself to become an All-Ohio basketball standout at Lake, where she graduated as the school’s all-time leading scorer. That, and her 4.6 GPA, gave her several options.

She decided to study pharmacy in col-lege, but she also wanted to continue her basketball career. She chose Cedarville University, a small Christian school lo-cated about 45 minutes from downtown Dayton. It is not an area – the 2010 census listed 4,019 people residing in the village of Cedarville – where a plethora of off-cam-pus activities present themselves to young people.

“It is small, very safe,” Brittenham said. “You don’t have to worry about much theft. It’s very comfortable living there. A lot of times for fun there’s bowling and movies nearby. It is right between Springfi eld and Xenia, and you can go to the city and there are usually things to do. There are coffee shops and diners and little things to do.”

As a freshman in 2011-12, the 5-foot-8 Brittenham appeared in all 32 games for the Yellow Jackets, averaging 12.7 minutes per game. Keep in mind that she has been playing basketball since the second grade, so when she had to sit out her sophomore year after tearing the ACL in her right knee, it was diffi cult to sit back and watch her teammates.

“I was having a good summer after my freshman year,” Brittenham said. “I played in a game over the summer and hurt (my knee). That was the fi rst time I injured it. I took a couple weeks off and rested it and wore a sleeve on my knee to stabilize it, and I came back to school and felt it was getting stronger.

“Not too far into preseason we were in practice and I jump-stopped and started to pivot and re-injured it. I rested it a little bit and started playing again. Our fi rst scrim-mage, only a minute into the game, I did it again.”

In some ways, Brittenham said, the ACL injury was “kind of a blessing in dis-

guise.”“I got to watch and learn the game a

little more, and I got an extra year on schol-arship,” she said. “I’m a pharmacy major, so I’ll be there for seven years. Personnel-wise, it was benefi cial to sit out a year. The recovery and being able to come back and not have any more issues, I’ll always be thankful for that.”

Brittenham averaged 7.8 points a game last season, appearing in all 28 games with 12 starts at shooting guard. She made 43 3-point fi eld goals, dished out 52 assists and averaged 3.2 rebounds a game.

She has been even more productive this season, helping coach Kirk Martin’s 22nd-ranked (Division II) Yellow Jackets win the Great Midwest Athletic Conference

title with a 15-1 record. Cedarville hosted the GMAC Tournament on March 5-7.

“It was huge just knowing we get to host the tournament,” Brittenham said. “It gives us a nice advantage having the home court to play on. At the beginning of season coach always gives us goals. One was to win the regular season and another was to win the conference tournament. This puts us in position to accomplish the second goal.

“It’s been a great season,” she added. “We have seven freshmen on the team and three seniors. They’re all really neat girls and I’ve enjoyed playing with them tremen-dously. I feel blessed to be at Cedarville. The school is great and the coaches care about us on and off the court.”

Brittenham has started every game this season and is averaging 9.4 points (third on the team) while shooting 41 percent from the fi eld including 36 percent from 3-point range. She averages 3.2 rebounds and has 69 assists, 57 steals and 18 blocked shots.

“Kaysie has turned herself into an outstanding 3-point shooter,” Martin said. “She has a motor that doesn’t quit, and we are just now starting to fi gure out how to effectively use her defensively. She is a coach’s dream because she lives in the gym as much as she can and just works so hard to be the best player she can be. We count on her quiet leadership and love for the game to help our freshmen understand what it takes to be a college basketball play-er.”

Because she is a pharmacy major, her coaches and teammates became accus-tomed to calling Brittenham “Doc” ever since her freshman year.

“Coach thought it was the best nick-name ever, because I would have my doc-torate when I graduate,” she said. “It took a little while to get used to. My teammates all call me that now and it kind of rubbed off on me. In class everybody calls me Kaysie, and in basketball everyone calls me Doc.”

Brittenham has also excelled in the classroom. She was the class valedicto-rian at Lake, and she carries a 3.8 GPA at Cedarville, where she has been named to the GMAC all-academic team three times. She is currently in her fi rst year of grad school.

“I just liked the whole chemistry, math and science thing in high school,” Brittenham said. “I got to shadow a phar-macist for a day, and the whole pharmacy aspect intrigued me. As I was visiting schools, just the way things worked out kind of led me to pursue pharmacy.”

Brittenham, 21, said she has never been one to cut corners, academically or athletically.

“I’m kind of a perfectionist when it comes to classes, and giving my best ef-fort has always been important to me,” she said. “My parents (Jane and Garth) instilled that in me. I strive to do my best in every-thing I’m working on, no matter how small or how big.”

Alex LeJeune


Gibsonburg senior heavyweight Alex LeJeune hadn’t been on a wrestling mat since fourth grade, but a little peer pressure can be a powerful thing.

Now, in his fi rst year wrestling at the varsity level, LeJeune (9-8) has already qualifi ed for the Division III district tour-nament, placing fourth at the sectional. He opened the sectional getting pinned by Elmwood junior Jack Hagemeyer (26-7) in 32 seconds, but opened the loser’s brack-et by pinning Toledo Christian grappler Austin Ritsema in 43 seconds and then he upset higher seeded Woodmore senior Rito Alvear (13-16) by pinning him in 1:44.

LeJeune got a rematch with Hagemeyer in the third place consolation fi nal, but this time was pinned in 17 seconds. Still, from where he’s come and where he is now, he’s not complaining.

LeJeune’s friend, Golden Bears senior 182-pounder Dan Henline, got in LeJeune’s

Golden Bear proves its never too late to get back to matLeJeune, who is 5-foot-11, said he’s

always been a stocky kid. He liked to lift weights but he neglected the cardio work and his weight ballooned to 316 pounds. That was what he weighed the fi rst day he tried out for the Bears in December.

“I wasn’t watching what I ate at all,” LeJeune said. “I was maintaining my weight around 300 for a while and it kept going up. I’ve always drank a lot of water, but I ate fast food so it pretty much can-celed the water out.”

Gibsonburg coach Greg Spoores said he took one look at LeJeune and predicted the kid would last two days in practice.

“He’s not a fat kid, just a big kid,” Spoores said. “We’ve had several offi cials tell us he’s got the biggest calves they’ve ever seen. He never wrestled before and we thought he could make a difference. We sat him down in the coaches’ offi ce to see what his plan was. I asked him what he weighed and I thought he’d last two days. He looked us right in the eye and said, ‘I’m here’ and I told him OK. I gave him the benefi t of the doubt.

“I thought he would be better off just to get his weight below 300. Even if he never makes weight, he’s better off for try-ing. Lo and behold, he gets down to 285. He pushed himself through every bit of condi-tioning, and then some.”

Gibsonburg fi nally had its fi rst heavy-weight wrestler in more than a decade, ac-cording to Spoores.

“His fi rst competition was a dual meet at Tiffi n Calvert on Jan. 21,” Spoores said. “He wasn’t nervous, but his adrenaline was going so much that I was nervous he was going to hurt the Danbury kid,who was 235 or 240. He clubbed the kid a couple times pretty hard and the referee stopped the match a couple times. I apologized to the ref, saying it’s his fi rst match ever. He lost to a Calvert kid later that night.”

“He was self-motivated,” the coach added. “That was one of the things I was most impressed with, his desire to be part of a team and commit to making weight. Like a sponge, he absorbed everything. We knew he was a senior and we didn’t have much time to work with him.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Staring at Monsters

The German philosopher, Nietzsche said that when

you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into

you, and that when you stare at monsters, the

monsters stare back at you. By the abyss, Nietzsche

may have meant the emptiness and ultimate

meaninglessness of existence. And thus, what

Nietzsche seems to be saying is that anyone who

looks at life as devoid of meaning will have this

reflected back at them. A person who considers life

to be meaningless will likely reflect this in some kind

of existential despair. Likewise, we cannot look at or

expose ourselves to evil and be unaffected by it.

There is much to be said for believing that life is good

and worth living, and for living the kind of life that

makes it so. And although each of us may

occasionally have to jump over the abyss and

struggle with monsters, we shouldn’t look down

while jumping over the abyss, or become a monster

when we are fighting with monsters. Put on the whole

armor of God, that you may be able to stand against

the wiles of the devil. R.S.V. Ephesians 6:11

Oak Harbor’s Andrea Cecil keeps Rockets rollin’ alongBy Yaneek SmithPress Contributor [email protected]

Andrea Cecil is beginning to make a habit of this. When her team is trailing in a big game and needs a boost, the junior forward consistently answers the call, putting the team on her back and leading them to vic-tory. She did it again, scoring a game-high 35 points and leading Oak Harbor back to the Division III district finals after rallying from a 15-point deficit to defeat Genoa, 66-56. “What can you say about Andrea Cecil?” Kontak said. “She put us on her shoulders. We got it close and then took the lead and pulled away. It seemed like there was a rhythm and a flow for Andrea. (Athena) Eli hit a few threes that were important and each of our players had a big basket.” Cecil is averaging 30.5 points per game in the postseason and put up 26 points in the Rockets’ 48-40 victory over Bucyrus in the sectional final. For her career, she is averaging 19.3 points in seven tourna-ment games, taking her play to a new level. Cecil, who recently committed to play bas-ketball at Bowling Green State University, has eclipsed the 1,000-point scoring mark, broke the program’s record for career points and single-game points (40). At halftime Thursday, with his team trailing, 37-30, Kontak chose not to say much to his group and let them find it within themselves to overcome. “We left the locker room early (during halftime) and we challenged them and I don’t know what they said to each other,” Kontak said. Cecil added, “This was a big game against one of our rivals and it was a big game for Coach Tom, We knew it was win or go home at this point. It’s great to have a

good game, but it’s all about winning and advancing to the next round. At halftime, we said to each other, ‘We can’t lose this game, especially like that.’ That was the mentality we came out with (after halftime). “Genoa resembles us a lot — they’re a scrappy team and they play together. They’re a great team.” It had to be an emotional win for Kontak, who coached at Genoa for six years and still works in the school system there as a math teacher. He still has friends in the community and teaches some of the girls he was coaching against, likely making the victory bittersweet for him. It is the culmination of an impres-sive turnaround for the Rockets, who were picked to win the Sandusky Bay Conference, but finished fourth. Ultimately, it made the group stronger and they’ve per-severed in the tournament. Oak Harbor won 13 of its last 15 team games after a 3-6 start that saw them play quality opponents like Bellevue, Lima Bath and Genoa, which beat Oak Harbor, 49-41, on Dec. 2. That game sent the Rockets into a 2-6 funk and helped spur the Comets to an 11-game winning streak. It was the end of a successful sea-son for Coach Mike DeStazio’s Comets, which includes key players Erica Harder, Haley Pickard, Emily Edwards, Carly Gose, Christy Dazley and Haley Gerke and won 18 games, a sectional title and came close to winning a Northern Buckeye Conference title. “I tell them after every game that I love them, no matter the outcome,” said DeStazio, who credits his lone senior, Dazley, for her efforts and seeing it through to her final season. “To go 18-6 and be the only NBC team to make it districts is some-thing. I’m as proud of this team as I can be. It’s a shame that the two best teams in the district had to play (in the semifinal), but we put on a show for everybody.”

Firm to invest $1.5 million in East Toledo

Workplace

Advanced Industrial Services, a com-mercial and industrial specialty contac-tor, has relocated from Northwood to 123 Oakdale Avenue in Toledo, according to Stacy Weber, public information offi cer for Paula Hicks-Hudson, mayor of the City of Toledo. The City of Toledo will provide the fi rm with $15,062 worth of incentives over a seven year term through its Toledo Expansion Incentives program. This pro-gram provides incentives to attract and grow businesses and create employment opportunities in the community. Advanced Industrial Services, a sub-sidiary of The Irex Contracting Group, a multinational contractor, provides exper-tise in thermal and acoustic insulation, specialized fabrication and sheet metal lag-ging of piping, ductwork, equipment and vessels. The fi rm also provides full service contracting in the areas of mechanical insu-lation, industrial and commercial coatings, asbestos and lead abatement, scaffolding, fi re stopping, noise control, and certifi ed energy assessments. The facility will be used as the com-pany’s regional headquarters for multi union craft personnel working on industri-al projects throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. The company will invest $1.5 million into its new facility and become fully operational by June. “The City is honored to be part of this project. The east side of Toledo has histori-cally offered the community employment in the industrial sector, however over the past several decades there has been a pat-tern of disinvestment into this important part of our City. It is a strong sign for the economy of Toledo that these opportuni-ties are coming back again,” stated Mayor Hicks-Hudson.

Helping facilitate this relocation was Stephanie Kuhlman and Dallas Paul of Industrial Developers, LTD and Lynette Reichle of Reichle Klein. Industrial Developers is a development company lo-cated in Northwood with projects through-out the United States. The company part-nered with a group of local investors to purchase the Oakdale facility, which cre-ated the opportunity for the relocation of Advanced Industrial Services. At the clubs EPIC Toledo (Engaging People, Inspiring Change) will hold its “EPIC’s Emerald Birthday Bash” Friday, from 7 p.m. to 11p.m. at The Blarney Events Center and Huron Street Tent. Entertainment for the networking event will be provided by the local band Last Call Heroes. Tickets are $10. Attendees may register at www.epictoledo.com. The event is open to members, young professionals, the busi-ness community and anyone 21 years of age or older who believes in EPIC’s mission of connecting emerging leaders to each other and the community.

Sauder Village hosts work day Sauder Village is seeking people to make handcrafted items for the new Heritage Shop. A fun-fi lled workday has been planned Tuesday, March 10 to provide an opportunity to help make items for the shop and have fellowship with others who like to be creative. “Our Heritage Shop features hand-made exclusives made by friends of Sauder Village,” shared Kim Krieger, PR/Media Relations representative at Sauder Village. “This shop has been an excellent way for people to help sup-port the mission of our non-profi t or-ganization – either by donating a hand-crafted item or by making a purchase from the shop.” A variety of projects will be avail-able for people to help with March 10 from 1-4 p.m. in the Village Café. The workday will give knitters an oppor-tunity to make hats and headbands. Worsted weight yarn and a pattern will be available for people to use – just bring a size 8-17 inch circular needles and size 8 double pointed needles. Those who do not knit will also be able to participate in creative projects. All merchandise in the shop is handcrafted and donated. Donated items, which go through a juried selec-tion process, have included quilted, carved, painted, knitted, crocheted, hooked, woven, mixed media or fash-ioned in some other traditional method. Modern interpretations of traditional crafts are welcome and encouraged. To attend or donate an item, con-tact Debbi Russell at 800-590-9755 or email [email protected].
