Building for the futureBy John SzozdaPress General [email protected]

This is the 30th year for Progress, The Press’s annual look at economic devel-opment. Looking back, you can’t say that things never change, nor can you say those were the good old days. Things do change, albeit slower than most of us prefer. This look back should hearten our resolve to solve our fresh wa-ter problem just like we solved our access problem. Consider that community leaders, in our fi rst Progress edition in 1986, warned us a lack of access to industrial land was the biggest deterrent to development. Back then, the Craig drawbridge on I-280 was the greatest impediment to cross-town traffi c. The bridge delayed traffi c and deterred development. It opened 1,125

times in 1985. Any company doing just-in-time delivery to the auto industry would think twice about locating in East Toledo, or in Oregon’s industrial area. Grade crossings over rail tracks com-pounded this lack of access. Local offi cials, working with state gov-ernment, solved this problem. The Millard Avenue overpass opened in 1998 and was followed by widening projects for Front Street in East Toledo and Route 2 head-ing east. The Veterans’ Glass City Skyway over the Maumee River was completed in 2007. A turnpike interchange was added at

Elmore and last year the $11 million grade separation project at the rail crossings at Wales and Drouillard roads was completed. These road projects have increased ac-cess to our industrial areas and developer Ed Harmon soon capitalized.

Appeals court upholds fi ring of ex-ChiefBy Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

A ruling by a Lucas County Court of Common Pleas judge in 2013 to reinstate the former fi re chief in Jerusalem Township after trustees fi red him was reversed this month by Ohio’s Sixth District Court of Appeals. The appellate court, consisting of Judges Mark L. Pietrykowski, Arlene Singer, and James D. Jenson, unanimously voted on Feb. 6 to uphold the trustees’ dis-missal of former Fire Chief Harold Stanton. Stanton fi led a lawsuit against the township after trustees fi red him on March 19, 2013 for allegedly permitting an indi-vidual who was not a member of the fi re department to actively participate on emer-gency calls. Trustees initially suspended Stanton, who had been part-time fi re chief since 2008, then later decided to dismiss him following a hearing. Trustees had stated in a letter to Stanton that they had repeatedly instructed him to not permit individuals to assist in the fi re department during emergency situations unless they had been lawfully appointed Jerusalem Township fi refi ghters. “This action is potentially dangerous to the individual, signifi cantly increases the township’s potential liability and vio-lates Ohio law,” trustees stated in the letter. “You have failed to follow the instructions of the township trustees. Your conduct and failure to follow instructions constitutes misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, and misconduct in the performance of your offi cial duties as chief of the Jerusalem Township Fire Department.”

Common pleas Stanton insisted he never had invited the individual, Jim Gray, to fi re scenes and that he would just show up. He also said he had informed Gray in the past that trustees did not want him responding to calls. Stanton believed his dismissal was politically motivated because Gray is the brother of former Trustee Joe Gray, with whom Kiss was often at odds when both served on the board of trustees.

““It is so critical we deal with it today, not

tomorrow, not two years from now.

Wales Rd. overpasses completed By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected] The Wales Road grade separation project was fi nally completed last year in Northwood. The much awaited project allows motorists to travel with less risk of get-ting blocked by trains from Woodville Road to East Broadway. The $11.2 million project includes the construction of two overpasses over the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks on Wales Road that effectively eliminates three railroad crossings and opens up traffi c that is frequently de-layed by trains. Wales Road is the only east-west road linking Northwood’s business district with its westerly neighborhoods. For years, the trains separated the east from the west sides of town. To adjust, the city had to build a fi re station on each side of the city to avoid serious delays when emergency vehicles responded to calls. The over-passes open up the east to west artery for businesses, residents, fi re, police, and school buses in the city The city put the fi nal touches on the project last year by adding a turn lane on Wales Road at East Broadway with the help of an Ohio Public Works Commission grant in the amount of $59,250,” said Mayor Mark Stoner. The city also spent $71,500 to resurface Wales from Woodville Road to Oram Road to complete the project, he added. The project also included the re-alignment of Wales and Drouillard roads to the south. “It’s made travel a lot faster,” said Administrator Bob Anderson, “with lit-tle hassle and fear of being blocked by trains.” The city had faced several hurdles to get the overpasses built since the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) conducted a railroad corridor study in 1993 that ranked Vickers Crossing at the top of a list of area crossings needing an over-pass. Woodville Mall The main section of the Woodville Mall was also torn down last year. The process of demolishing the mall began at the beginning of 2014 and is still un-der way, according to Stoner. “The connecting sections of the mall along with the Sears building are completely torn down. The former Anderson’s and Elder Beerman build-ings are currently standing. However, the city is working with the owners and the Wood County Common Pleas Court to demolish these areas as well.” The city hopes to attract develop-ment at the site after the buildings are razed.

Local economy The city started off this year with a positive general fund carryover. “We have approved a balanced 2015 budget totaling $4,632,255 and we project our 2015 general fund revenue to total $4,636,380,” said Stoner. Income taxes were up 5.7 percent from 2013. Total General Fund expen-ditures increased by $192,932 or 4.7 percent from 2013. Stoner said the city experienced commercial and industrial growth with construction at Norplas Industries in the amount of $100,000; $200,000 at the Mike Bartlett Company; and $70,000 at the Mechanical Contractors Association, Anderson said the additions fi t in with part of the city’s economic plan to “retain the companies we have.” “There was more investment last year but that was because we got a cou-ple of big companies,” said Anderson. “This year, part of the economic plan is to retain the companies we have. By them expanding, that’s good news for us.” Over $3.6 million was spent for new construction projects last year. New industrial and commercial busi-nesses include Mandie’s Hair Affair; Body Factory; Flowers Baking Co; Wonder Bread & Tastykake; and IC-Fluid Power.

Johnson Controls. The lack of access is no longer an is-sue. Today, leaders are warning us clean water could become the biggest deterrent to development. Here’s what two leaders recently said about the water crisis that hit Northwest Ohio in August and prompted the City of Toledo to issue a drinking ban. Anthony Reams, president of the Toledo Metropolitan Council of Governments, told members of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce at their annual State of the Communities event, “Twenty percent of the fresh water on earth is in the Great Lakes…But, to put it in perspective, if I’m sitting in Dallas, L.A. or Seattle and trying to relocate a business and I hear about Toledo’s water system be-ing shut down, I’m not going to turn a page and say but it’s okay to go to Walbridge or Oregon, I’m eliminating the entire region.” Matt Sapara, director of development for the City of Toledo, told The Press in August, “From a job attraction viewpoint, quality of life is a signifi cant issue when businesses are considering relocating to northwest Ohio. Things like the (Toledo) Museum, other entertainment venues, and recreational activities on Lake Erie are re-ally, really important when they are going through that selection process…It is so crit-ical we deal with it today, not tomorrow,

not two years from now.” Clean water is not only crucial for our quality of life and our tourism industry, it is critical for industry. One reason the $800 million Oregon Clean Energy project is be-ing built is the availability of fresh water. The plant will use an estimated 3 million gallons of untreated water daily. In Progress 2003, we wrote that the City of Oregon had completed two phases of an $11 million ex-pansion of its water plant to double capac-ity to 16 million gallons a day. Without the foresight of city offi cials the clean energy

project might have been built elsewhere. The plant will produce enough power to supply 500,000 homes and it will fi ll the power void created by the shuttering of two coal-fi red power plans. Our national pastime is not baseball anymore. It is blaming “gov’ment” for all our ills. But, looking through 29 issues of Progress, it is government that solved the access problem and it is government that will solve the water problem. We tend to believe that nothing ever changes. But, consider that in Progress ’98, we wrote about $1.3 billion worth of com-mercial and industrial development in-cluding these three projects which totaled $118 million and brought in 638 jobs--Al-coa, Norplas and Interstate Bakeries. While Interstate was a casualty of the Big Recession and Alcoa left, Thyssen Krupp, a multi-national corporation, oper-ates a logistics hub in the old Alcoa Plant and Norplas, a few years ago, announced the hiring of 300 more employees. On the commercial side, in the last 12 years, our area has added national retailers Meijer, Walmart and Menards as well as the $200 million Hollywood casino in East Toledo. Economic development is like base-ball. Sometimes you strikeout, sometimes you hit a homerun, and sometimes, like this year, you walk to fi rst base. I hope you enjoy this section and thanks for reading.

East Toledo

Museum opens, artists convergeon Main StreetBy J. Patrick EakenPress Staff [email protected]

In April 2014, the National Museum of the Great Lakes opened along East Toledo’s Maumee River front next to the Toledo Maritime Center and the Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship.

A feasibility study commissioned by the Great Lakes Historical Society and the port authority found that between 41,000 and 60,000 visitors will visit the museum annually. At a combined admission and per visitor store purchase fi gure of $12.50 per person, 41,000 visitors would generate about $500,000 annually for its operations. Total annual revenue, including member-ship, endowment and charitable giving, and grants are estimated at $1.225 million with expenses estimated at $1.075 million.

The museum, which moved here from Vermilion, uses original artifacts and im-ages coordinated with both low-tech and high-tech interactive experiences to tell the story of the Great Lakes. The experience is to be both educational and entertaining. Paul LaMarre III, the director of the Monroe (Mich.) port called it the “Smithsonian of the Great Lakes.”

It is only fi tting that it is in the port of Toledo, which is commonly referred to as the capital of the lower lakes, anyways,” LaMarre said. “But, this project has come a long way and has overcome many hurdles to bring together many assets of maritime history and culture to present the total package to future visitors.”

Museum public relations director

Anna Kolin says since the museum re-opened at its new Toledo location last spring, memberships have increased to the Great Lakes Historical Society, which oper-ates the museum.

Public arts, festivalLed by LeSo Gallery and community

leaders, the fi rst phase of a public arts proj-ect along Main Street was completed in July.

First, 18 cement trashcans and eight planters were transformed from dull, gray cylinders to bright and creative works of art stretching along Main Street in East Toledo.

Next, Owens-Illinois employees volun-teered with the East Toledo Family Center and the LeSo Gallery to paint and add color to benches and bus stops along the same corridor. The project was a partnership be-tween LeSo Gallery, the East Toledo Family Center, the East Toledo Club, and volun-teers from Owens-Illinois.

Then, 19 murals were painted by nine artists, including local eighth-graders, at 813 Starr Ave. on a building that a year ago

was a public eyesore. LeSo, Frankie’s, Mainstreet Bar, and

other Main-Starr corridor businesses held an entertainment and arts festival Sept. 13, which included two stages featuring live bands. Main Street was blocked off be-tween Front and Fourth streets. Also playing a role was the East Toledo Club, which provided funding for the supplies for the bench project. Roger Dodsworth, an assistant director at the Family Center, says the East Toledo Club has money to offer to other groups wishing to complete beautifi cation projects on Main Street.

Eastwood Theater re-opens The 90-year-old Eastwood Theater on East Broadway was reopened by Maumee-based Cornerstone Church. Now, it’s back as a church, and a the-ater running discounted second-run mov-ies, but new Eastwood Theater outreach coordinator Josh Harnegie says it can have more uses — mostly to address community needs.

Two multi-purpose rooms in the back are available for businesses or community organizations to hold break-out sessions or to use as classrooms. The stage can be used for live theater for community groups and public and charter schools without access to auditoriums. Harnegie says the renovation included some of the old mixed in with the new, such as LED green sensitive lights, a digital projector and performing arts style seating. The movies are delivered on a specially coded digital hard drive to protect licens-ing, just like fi rst-run movies are today, and the entire production is run on an Apple iPad. Its history includes 60-years plus pro-viding movie entertainment to the com-munity, which is more than any other theater in East Toledo. After it closed as a family friendly movie theater, it ran adult movies until 1985, and from 1993-2004 was used by Cornerstone Church for services. Soon after it re-opened in late July 2014, Cornerstone mobilized over 300 vol-unteers, local businesses and organizations to reach thousands of community members by throwing a block party complete with a free meal, music, dances, games and prizes.

Home demos continueIt may sound more like destruction,

but a wave of home demolitions in East Toledo is considered progress.

Once a second wave of demolitions by the Lucas County Land Reutilization Corporation (land bank) is complete, over 150 razed homes will no longer blight neighborhoods in East Toledo’s 43605 zip code, considered Zone E by the land bank.

In 2014, the land bank was awarded a $6 million grant from the Ohio Housing Financing Agency, the second-highest total of 11 land banks statewide receiving a com-bined total $49.5 million to tackle blighted communities. That provides funding for a second round of home demolitions.

The land bank is a community im-provement corporation designed to strengthen neighborhoods throughout the county by returning vacant and abandoned properties to productive use.

About 60 homes were demolished dur-ing the fi rst wave, and a second wave al-ready underway will bring at least 96 more, says One Voice for East Toledo leader and East Toledo Family Center community builder Jodi Gross.

Work on an 800 megawatt gas-fi red electric generating plant got underway last year in Oregon. The long awaited project, Oregon Clean Energy LLC, will employ 450 construction jobs during the three year construction phase, 25 full-time permanent workers once it becomes operational, and have a total an-nual payroll of about $3.2 million. The power plant, which will use clean natural gas in combustion turbines to pro-duce electricity, will be located on a 30-acre site at 816 Lallendorf Road. The city has been working with the developer, North America Project Development LLC, a Boston-based energy group, and the Oregon Clean Energy team, to facilitate the project. The plant will consist of two natural gas fi red turbines that are combined cycle units. They generate electricity by burn-ing natural gas but use the heat given off from the natural gas burners to create steam and generate additional watts with a steam turbine. They are projecting that the new plant will generate enough new electricity to power over 500,000 homes per year. The construction of the plant will pro-vide over $800 million in new investment to the northwest Ohio region and the state. “It’s the largest new industrial project in the region,” Administrator Mike Beazley said last week. The industrial project is the biggest for Oregon in a generation “It’s fi nally come to fruition. It’s under construction now. We’re excited to see it fi nally get to this next stage. The develop-ment stage took four years. Now it’s nice to have it under construction,” said Beazley. It’s expected to be completed in the summer of 2017, he added. Navarre upgrades The city is also in the engineering phase of the Navarre Avenue safety proj-ect, which consists of the construction of a median on Navarre with seven U-turn or “turnarounds” located between Munding Drive and Isaac Streets Drive. Offi cials wanted the improvements to reduce a high rate of traffi c accidents on Navarre. The $2.7 million project will be mostly offset by a $2.4 million safety grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation. The city kicked in an additional $1 million to upgrade Navarre to make it more attractive. “It will be easier for our residents, and those people who want to be our customers on Navarre, to get in and out safely to do business in Oregon. We think we’ll end up with a more attractive and a safer part of our business district,” said Beazley. The construction phase won’t be until 2016, said Beazley.

treatment plants. “There’s millions of dollars of work already done at the wastewater plant and water plant with a lot underway for both projects that will pay off for our residents and businesses for many years to come,” said Beazley. In accordance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the city is required to in-crease the secondary treatment capacity of its wastewater treatment plant from 24 million gallons per day (MGD) to 36 MGD to eliminate secondary treatment bypasses and sanitary sewer collection system over-fl ows during wet weather events. The proj-ect will be constructed in two phases over the next four years. Last September, city council approved a $295,000 contract with ARCADIS, US Inc., for additional design engineering services for raw water treatment improve-ments to the water treatment plant. Water treatment plants typically use activated carbon to treat algae. Oregon plans a $13 million upgrade that will add the use of ozone in the pretreatment pro-cess that is very effective in treating micro-cystin, the toxic algae that caused a water crisis in Toledo last summer. The city expects designs to be com-pleted this year, and bid the project in the fall. Construction will begin in the middle of 2016.

Industry & commercial Expansions are underway for Autoneum and Fresenius, according to Beazley. A new 40,000 square foot building is under construction at Rieter Automotive, a subsidiary of Swiss-based Autoneum, in the Cedar Point business park. Sixty jobs will be added to the work-force for manufacturing/distribution at the facility located on Spartan Drive. The expan-sion will be for the production of the Ford 150, with assembly in Michigan, Kansas and Mexico. These parts will be manufactured in Oregon and shipped to those locations for further assembly. The estimated cost of the project is $1.8 million. It will bring the total space of Autoneum, not counting its main plant, to 250,000 square feet. Fresenius, a medical care facility in Oregon, is adding 50,000 square feet to its facility. The company is moving part of its manufacturing from California to Oregon. Additionally, Advanced Engineering, which had planned on leaving Oregon and moving to Michigan, has decided to stay. Senior center The city last year purchased a build-ing for $850,000 for a new senior center at 4350 Navarre Avenue. The facility is more centrally located, which many seniors had wanted, compared to the previous senior center on Bay Shore Road, which is consid-ered outdated for seniors’ needs. The city will also receive about $200,000 in the next two years from the ex-isting lease. The rental income will cover the costs of improvements to the new facil-ity, such as a new kitchen. The facility is expected to open this month. The city col-lects $210,000 each year in revenue from a 0.5 mill fi ve year senior levy.

The township last year made addition-al improvements to its recreation complex, according to Trustee Joe Kiss. “We planted nearly 30 mature trees, including Oak and Elm, at the complex and have the plans and people in place to start construction of our new building this spring,” said Kiss. The complex includes two baseball diamonds, two soccer fi elds, and a parking lot, which residents have used for the last two years. “We spent a lot of money on reseeding the grass. Right now, we have room for one more baseball diamond and soccer fi eld,” said Kiss. “As soon as we get the building up, we’re going to be on a roll. It’s com-ing right along. It’s been a long time in the works.” Cost estimates to construct the build-ing is $40,000 said Kiss. “The building will be more or less a pavilion type thing with a roof, picnic benches and tables, restrooms, a conces-sion stand and space for storage. Right now, we’re just focusing on getting the structure up so we can use it as a gathering place to

protect ourselves from the weather. Long term, we’re going to have the concession area and restrooms,” said Kiss. The complex is just behind Jerusalem Elementary School on S. Yondota Road. The township last year also replaced its one ton dump truck and plow with a new one, said Kiss. “Our old dump truck was over 12 years old, and we decided to make an investment in a new truck,” he said. “It is the main maintenance vehicle for all light duty work and plowing.” The township also spent about $35,000 on crack sealing of its roads. “We have found that crack sealing really helps us get the most out of our roads year to year.” The township resurfaced two roads last year, and cleaned 12 ditches to improve the fl ow of water and prevent fl ooding. “The water issues in the township have increasingly gotten better over the last several years with the continued ef-

forts to keep up on the maintenance of our ditches,” said Kiss. “The ditches, mostly in Reno Beach, for years had grass and trees growing in them and have not been cleaned properly because of a lot of obstruction. So dirt and sediment backs up, which impedes the fl ow of water into Lake Erie. Although he acknowledges that sedi-ment from agricultural runoff fl owing into ditches after heavy rains contributes to al-gae in the lake, he said there is no other way of improving drainage in the township. “Most of the ditches are in the Reno Beach area, though some are out on the main roads by the farm fi elds, which are defi nitely getting runoff from the farm fi elds. I just know we have to have the ditches move the water after heavy rains or else people get fl ooded out.” The township also acquired a Hovercraft ice and water rescue boat from the Middle Bass Island Fire Department, which donated the equipment. “It will greatly assist us and surround-ing communities in water and ice rescue,” said Kiss. “Our fi re department is really one of the leaders in ice rescues in the area. We do a lot of different things for Maumee Bay State Park all the way down to Metzger Marsh and beyond. The Hovercraft is a wel-come piece of equipment.”

Local hospitals, health care systemstake steps forwardBy Tammy WalroPress Features [email protected]

Local hospitals and health care sys-tems improved infrastructure and saw nu-merous technology advancements in 2014. • In February, 2014 Mercy announced plans for a new Behavioral Health Institute at St. Charles. The new two-story build-ing will include adult, geriatric and dual diagnoses units, comprising a total of 90 beds. Additionally, the 62,000-square-foot Institute will offer a partial hospitalization program. • St. Charles, along with Mercy St. Anne and Defi ance hospitals “went live” on the Epic/CarePATH electronic health record system, used system-wide through Mercy as well as Catholic Health Partners. The system electronically centralizes a pa-tient’s medical chart and history, including medications and immunization history, laboratory and medical imaging results, allergies, advanced directives and health powers of attorney information, etc. • St. Charles began offering the daVinci robotics surgery. The minimally invasive system enables surgeons to operate with en-hanced precision, dexterity and control. • Mercy opened a health clinic at Clay High School. The 1,500-square-foot clin-ic, located in the rear of the high school, features a waiting room, two examining rooms, and a lab. • Renovations were completed on the St. Charles lobby and other key areas of the hospital. • Mercy St. Charles announced the ad-dition of new MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine camera, and digital radiology suite • The hospital is partnering with St. Kateri/Cardinal Stritch High School to pro-vide school nurse services, and with area schools to provide athletic trainers as part of their sports medicine program. • In July, Catholic Health Partners (CHP), the parent healthcare system of Mercy, announced a name change to Mercy Health, – part of a ministry evolution to one unifi ed team focused on high-quality care, increased effi ciencies and lower patient costs. Mercy Health is Ohio’s largest health system and fourth-largest employer.

ProMedica Bay Park In January 2014, ProMedica Bay Park Hospital opened a new intensive care unit. The unit features larger rooms designed to provide improved patient comfort and to accommodate various equipment needed to provide care for the hospital’s most criti-cal patients. The unit’s new design also im-proved visualization between nurses and patient rooms with a direct line of sight from the nurse’s station into each patient room. The hospital launched a Green Team in May to emphasize sustainability within the facility. As the hospital replaced medical supplies and equipment, the old items were sent to World Medical Relief to assist their operations. The Green Team has also estab-lished recycling programs to collect elec-tronic equipment, batteries, ink and toner cartridges in an effort to reduce the hospi-tal’s refuse collection costs, and employees contributed shoes and eyeglasses for repur-posing through non-profi t organizations. Bay Park’s youngest patients were the focus of a new program called “Safe Sleep is Good for Baby.” Developed in coordina-tion with the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio Hospital Association, the pro-gram seeks to reduce infant mortality statis-tics by preventing sleep-related incidents. Parents are sent home with safe sleep take-home kits that include an insulated diaper bag, book, sleeper and educational infor-mation emphasizing the ABC’s of safe sleep – alone, on their back, in a crib. Thanks to the work of the physicians and staff, ProMedica Bay Park was named a recipient of Healthgrades 2014 Outstanding Patient Experience Award, ranking the hos-pital in the top 10 percent of hospitals in the nation for patient experience. Healthgrades evaluated the hospital’s performance as assessed by patients across 27 questions to measure 10 distinct met-rics. Measures included cleanliness, re-sponsiveness to patient needs and whether a patient would recommend ProMedica Bay Park to friends or family.

Woodville Mayor Richard Harman credits village council, department heads, the fi scal offi cer and village employees and volunteers for the village remaining “fi scally resilient.” “Although we continue to face bud-getary challenges associated with the state mandated cuts affecting the general fund, Woodville ended the 2014 fi scal year with a $2.4 million total fund balance,” the may-or said. “We look forward to 2015 as we continue to be fi scally responsible, practi-cal in our thinking and attentive to village needs.” The village has several planned proj-ects, he said, including:• Finishing the development of Limelite Park, which will connect Main Street to a village parking lot.• Improving the newly acquired addition of land to Trail Marker Park on South Perry Street.• Pursuing fi nancial aid to replace several water distribution lines.• Upgrading the sewer plant to meet Ohio Environmental Protection Agency regula-tions. The mayor noted the village last year continued the fi nal phase of a multi-mil-lion dollar sewer separation project and re-placed or upgraded more than six miles of electrical lines in the village. A 750-Killowatt solar fi eld was in-stalled behind the village’s utility building and the village obtained a grant of $184,000 to purchase and demolish a property in the Portage River fl ood plain. More than $200,000 in improvements to the water treatment plant were also com-pleted, the mayor said.

Gibsonburg Mayor Greg Gerwin said the village this year plans to complete modifi cations to the building which will become the mu-nicipal building and turn the existing vil-lage hall over to Madison Township. The village also plans to “refi ne” its marketing efforts for the industrial park and “add some depth” to the village web-site. A block watch program implemented in December by the police department, in-cluding a Facebook page, will also be ex-panded. Village offi cials also plan to determine a site for a new water well and conduct a drill test. The mayor thanked the village em-ployees for their work. “We may not let them know often enough, but they are our most valuable resource,” he said. “The savings on the wastewater plant project; the police offi -cers wanting to have bike patrols so they secured bikes from our impound that were going to be auctioned and repaired them. A resident volunteered to repaint them and the police bought the lighting and lettering at no cost to the village.” Repairs to the village water tower were completed and the village replaced its su-pervisory control and data acquisition sys-tem (SCADA) in the water and wastewater plants. Mayor Gerwin said the village is mark-

ing its 19th year as a Tree City and has been planting and raising its own trees rather than buying them. More playground equipment has been added to the village’s parks, he said.

Lake Twp. The Lake Township Board of Trustees will continue its efforts to spur economic and residential development. “With the bettering economy, I think we are poised in Lake Township to take ad-vantage of development in our current em-ployment corridors” said Mark Hummer, administrator. “We have also had conver-sations with offi cials in Northwood about redeveloping and working with people who want to invest in the Woodville Road area. That area was once a thriving retail area, and with some dated properties being removed, and unused buildings recent-ly changing hands, that may be the spark needed in that area.” The property at 3700 Woodville Road, where a Steve & Barry’s store was located, has been sold to a developer and Hummer said he’s received calls from businesses asking about the building along Woodville Road where a Foodtown store had been lo-cated. He describes Lake Township as “the center of everything” with I-280, Ohio Turnpike, Toledo Executive Airport and rail connections crossing through it. “It is in a perfect area to support logis-tics and shipping. We stand ready to work with anyone wishing to locate in our area. We will continue to work with our partners in Toledo and the Port Authority to market the incredible areas surrounding Toledo Executive Airport. “And while new development is good, we need to support our current business-es, agricultural concerns, and residential quality of life by striving to maintain our services in the most cost effective means possible,” Hummer said. Last year, Lake Township, Northwood, Rossford, Perrysburg Township, and the City of Perrysburg were awarded an Assistance to Firefi ghters Grant from FEMA in the amount of $893,322. “About $448,629 of that was for a mini 800 megahertz digital radio system for the Northern Wood County fi re and police agencies that allows us to tie into the Lucas County Emergency Radio System, giving us a robust back up system and also push-es and strengthens the radio signal farther south,” said Bruce Moritz, township fi re chief. “This also eliminates our user fees to Lucas County, creating a savings to the fi ve above communities. The radio system is digital providing a much more clear voice

transmission.” He said the system also provides more “interoperability in case of a natural disas-ter or very large emergency and day-to-day mutual assistance calls.”

Elmore Offi cials in the Village of Elmore say the town is positioned for its next big step - welcoming more business and industry to its local economy. In the past year, the village has com-pleted a new $5.2 million wastewater treat-ment plant and built a new $1.3 million electrical sub-station. With the completion of the two proj-ects, by increasing the capacity for addi-tion sewage treatment and electrical power, Elmore has strongly positioned itself for development of property southwest of the village, said Rick Claar, a member of village council. In 2014, the village entered an agree-ment to establish a Joint Economic Development District at property near the Elmore Turnpike Exchange. The JEDD agreement includes proper-ty in both Ottawa and Sandusky Counties and partners the village with Harris and Woodville townships. The crossing of two counties and part-nering two townships and the village has never been done in the state before this, ac-cording to Matt Damschroder, the mayor of the village. He told the North Coast Business Journal the village will be working diligent-ly on getting infrastructure and utilities to the JEDD property, and the village is ready to do whatever is necessary to make sure the property has an adequate water supply and is exploring the possibility of expand-ing its current water treatment facilities or joining the Ottawa County regional water system. Damschroder said he is very excited about the prospects of bringing more jobs and revenue to the Elmore area. He added the village is looking forward to working with all the entities involved to make the JEDD successful.

Millbury Mayor Michael Timmons said the vil-lage is planning to purchase a new dump truck this year at an estimated cost of $122,000. Last year, the village completed several projects:• The Hille Street storm sewer project - $32,150• Paving the parking lot at Veteran’s Memorial Park - $29,120• Truck and leaf machine repairs - $11,686.• Catch basin repairs - $6,350. “We are still pursuing grants for the walking/bicycling trail to connect Veteran’s Memorial park to Lake Township’s Fireside Park,” the mayor said.

Work expected on new Jerusalem Twp. metroparkBy Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Jerusalem Township is preparing for a new metropark on Howard Farms property west of Metzger Marsh.. “There’s going to be some fantastic walking trails and other things planned out there,” said Trustee Joe Kiss. “It’s going to be really big for our community.” “I think most people are for the met-ropark,” Kiss continued. “There is some grumbling about some of the tax revenue we’re going to lose. But I really think the pro’s outweigh the con’s as far as I’m con-cerned. It will be lovely to have that much acreage set aside for future generations. Long term, it’s a real blessing.” Scott Carpenter, Metroparks spokes-man, said the reason the site was picked for a new metropark is that it is an “incredi-bly rare opportunity to acquire and restore nearly 1,000 acres of Lake Erie coastal wet-land.” At 959 acres, it was the largest single land purchase in the park district’s histo-ry, said Carpenter. When the park opens, it will be the second largest metropark, and the closest to Lake Erie. “Howard Farms will be among the fi rst of the 10 new park areas we plan to open in the next 10 years. When we’re done, every-one in Lucas County will live within fi ve miles of a metropark. It’s one of the most exciting periods in the park district’s 86-year- history,” he said. Work is expected to begin this year to restore Howard Farms to a wetland. “We expect it to take about two years, and we have budgeted $4 million. The exact cost and timeline will depend on matching grants, contractor bids and other factors, so it’s not possible to give an exact completion cost or date just yet. We will know more soon when the project goes out to bid,” he said. When it is done, the portion of the property east of Howard Road will be a new metropark with fi ve miles of dike top trail and a six mile stream (Cedar Creek) snaking through a wetland where people will be able to canoe and kayak, he said. Water levels in the wetland will be con-trolled by pumps letting water in and out using Wards Canal on the eastern edge of the property. The property west of Hoard Road will be set aside for future restoration and development. Metroparks purchased Howard Farms in the spring of 2008 for $6 million, mostly with grant money. Of that, $3 million was a grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, $1.8 million was a Clean Ohio Fund grant and $10,000 was a donation from Ducks Unlimited. Metroparks paid for the remaining $1.2 million from a land acquisition tax levy approved by Lucas County voters in 2002.

Common Pleas Court Judge Dean Mandros ruled in favor of Stanton, and ordered that he be reinstated as fi re chief. “The court holds that the board’s de-cision is illegal, as the trustees failed to comply with the procedural requirements of the Ohio Revised Code and the town-ship’s personnel policies and procedures manual,” stated the ruling. In addition, the court held that the board of trustees had violated the chief’s due process rights by its multiple role as investigator, prosecutor, witness, and judge. Mandros had noted that trustees were supposed to designate the chief or a private citizen to investigate the conduct and pre-pare charges for removal, as per a provi-sion of the Ohio Revised Code. Since the trustees did neither, the judge found it had violated the code. “Consequently, the board’s decision to terminate the chief is vacated, and he is to be restored…” the court had ordered. Trustees in September, 2013 voted unanimously to appeal the court’s decision to reinstate Stanton to his former position.

Appellate ruling Writing for the sixth district, Judge Singer noted that Stanton did not raise the issue of the private citizen investigation during an administrative appeal of his fi r-ing, though it was raised in a footnote con-tained in his brief to the trial judge. “Failure to object or raise an issue at an administrative hearing constitutes a waiver of that error on appeal to the court of com-mon pleas,” states Singer. “We fi nd that the trial court erred in considering the issue, much less using it as one of the reasons to vacate the decision of the trustees.” Sanger also noted that the trial judge

Appeals court upholds fi ring of ex-Chief Continued from front page had erred by ruling that Stanton’s constitu-

tional right to due process was violated be-cause the trustees served as investigators, prosecutors, witnesses and judges. “Once again, appellee did not raise a due process objection at the hearing, nor did he raise this issue on appeal to the trial court. This court has held that the waiver doctrine also applies when parties fail to raise due pro-cess objections in administrative hearings.” On Mandros’ ruling that trustees had failed to comply with the township’s per-sonnel policies and procedures manual, specifi cally, the township’s progressive disciplinary policy, Sanger stated that the manual clearly states that discipline “may”

be progressive. “As the progressive discipline pol-icy is not mandatory, we see nor error in the trustees’ failure to abide by it,” stated Sanger. “For the above reasons, we conclude the trial court’s determination that the trustees’ termination process was proce-durally defective was not supported by a preponderance of reliable, probative or substantial evidence,” stated Sanger. Trustee Joe Kiss said he was pleased by the outcome. “I’m certainly happy about the deci-sion and glad that it’s over,” he said.

College Savings Act Three senators have renewed an effort to make a college education more affordable in Ohio, and the plan is gaining support in the Ohio Senate. Sen. Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green), along with Sen. Shannon Jones (R-Springboro) and Sen. John Eklund (R-Chardon) sponsored the Ohio College Savings Act, which would in-crease the maximum tax deduction for families investing in college savings plans to $10,000 per student. Current law allows a $2,000 annual deduction, one of the lowest amounts in the na-tion. Gardner, chairman of Senate Finance Subcommittee on Education, said the bill would help families save for college while ultimately helping the state’s economy. “If Ohio was just at the national average in college attainment, we would dramatically increase personal incomes and purchasing power for Ohio families,” Gardner said. “This bill is not a fi scal burden on Ohio’s budget. Instead, this effort would be a major educational and fi nancial benefi t for Ohio families and Ohio’s future. “We are very encouraged with the support we are receiving so far for this bill,” Gardner said. “We believe the prospects are strong that this will be enacted into law.” The bill has already received sup-port from the higher education com-munity, including Bruce Johnson, president of the Inter-University Council of Ohio. “This incentive attacks head on what is, arguably, one of the biggest issues facing students contemplating college today—borrowing to pay for their college education and going into debt as a result,” Johnson said.

Fatal crashes Forty-one people died in 37 fatal crash-es in Lucas County in 2014, according to the Lucas County Traffi c Safety Program. The number represents an increase from the 34 deaths in 33 fatal crashes reported in 2013. Forty percent of the fatal crashes in 2014 involved a driver or pedestrian under the infl uence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash, which is above the national and state average. The average BAC (blood alcohol content) was .196, which is almost two-and-a-half times the legal limit to drive. Fifty-four percent of the people that died in these fatal crashes had a seat belt available but weren’t buckled up at the time of their crash.

Pipeline

Residents want another hearingBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

A coalition of residents with farms, homes and businesses along the proposed route of a 22-mile natural gas pipeline be-tween the cities of Maumee and Oregon are requesting a rehearing before the Ohio Power Siting Board to push for an alternate route. North Coast Gas Transmission, a Columbus-based company, has applied to the siting board for permission to construct a 24-inch diameter pipeline to supply natu-ral gas for an $800 million electric genera-tion plant being built near the intersection of Lallendorf and York Street in Oregon. However, the Oregon Lateral Citizens Coalition fi led its request last week with the siting board, contending an alternate route is needed. “The Oregon Lateral Citizens Coalition does not oppose the Oregon Clean Energy Facility, or the need for a gas supply pipe-line for the facility,” the coalition’s request says. “But there clearly are feasible alterna-tive routes for the pipeline that NCGT has neglected or refused to consider, which would mitigate most of the adverse impacts presented in the current proposal.” The coalition’s letter asks the siting board to:

• Conduct a full hearing on the NCGT’s application.

• Modify the company’s application to require the pipeline to be located at least 60 feet from the rear of residential lot lines between Curtice and Seaman roads.

• Amend the pipeline route to be locat-ed near parcel boundaries where feasible to reduce impacts on fi eld drainage and crop productivity.

• Require a minimum separation dis-tance of at least 500 feet between the pipe-line and the limits of waste placement at the Evergreen Landfi ll. From Maumee, the pipeline would run under the Maumee River and run through the City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township. From there, it would proceed northeast through Lake Township, the Village of Walbridge and City of Northwood, ending in Oregon. Construction is expected to start in March and be competed in June 2016. The residents’ coalition contends the company’s application doesn’t in-clude evidence it considered alternative routes. “Without such evidence, presented in suffi cient detail to enable the Ohio Power Siting Board staff and adversely affected parties to test the NCGT’s assertion that the proposed route is the one that presents the minimum adverse environmental impacts, the OPSB lacks the required evidentiary basis to fi nd the criteria of (Ohio Revised Code) are met,” the request says.

When she heard about Tiger Ridge Exotics’ animals being taken by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Stony Ridge resident Christie Swan knew she had to do something. So, Swan, the manager at Bob Evans Restaurant on Route 20 in Perrysburg, orga-nized a fundraiser. She contacted seven other Bob Evans restaurants in the Toledo metropolitan area, and arranged to have 15 percent of proceeds during last Monday and Tuesday’s sales do-nated to Tiger Ridge. Patrons did not have to participate if they did not wish to. She has not gotten the fi gures back from all the restaurants yet, but from what she saw at her own restaurant, the fun-draiser was a hit. It will happen again on February 23-24. “I can honestly say we were just so overwhelmed with how many people wanted to come out and show their appre-ciation. It was beautiful to see — it really was,” Swan said. Bob Evans restaurants that participat-ed included not only her own, but also the ones at Levis Commons, on Monroe Street in Toledo, at East Alexis Road, in Holland, at West Central Avenue, and in Bowling Green. She plans to reach out to others that may want to participate in the next round. Swan has lived close to Tiger Ridge

Bob Evans’ fundraiser for Tiger Ridge draws supportand the home of owner Kenny Hetrick for about eight years, but she has been visiting the animal rescue center for over 40 years, dating back to when Hetrick fi rst started caring for the animals. “Kenny is just one of those sweet peo-ple and his (late) wife (Roberta) was just a sweetheart. I have pictures of me feeding one of the tigers with a baby bottle when it was a cub,” Swan said. “When we do fundraisers, if it’s some-thing like Tiger Ridge where it’s a neighbor-hood thing — everybody out here, whether you’re in the Levis Commons or Bowling Green area, you know and you appreciate your neighbors, and I would never leave a neighbor out.” She said the restaurants’ owners were all on board with the idea. She hopes the second time around will be even better. “They try and make sure that bases are covered and so forth, but as far as fundrais-ers, that’s what we are here for. We are here to help our community,” Swan said. “The most important thing is even if you don’t want to come in and eat, people can do catering, they can do carry-out and it will still count toward that fundraiser. If more people knew that, they’d be more in-clined to come out.” Information about how to forward funds to Tiger Ridge can also be found at SaveTigerRidge.com. There is also a t-shirt fundraiser, and evidence of individual do-nations up to $1,000 made toward the shel-ter can be found on the website.

ODA fi les for dismissal Hetrick’s daughter, Corrina Hetrick, says hundreds of thousands of dollars have already been spent to help Tiger Ridge up-grade and keep its animals. Removed from the shelter were six tigers, a lion, black leopard, liger, bobcat and a Kodiak bear that Hetrick’s family said was in hiberna-tion when the ODA offi cials arrived. All are aging, including Leo the Lion, who is 27-years-old. ODA Communications Director Erica M. Hawkins said they are still doing well at the multi-million dollar holding facility in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. “They are eating. They are out of the super-cold wind, even though we don’t have the temperature in the building turned up all the way because most of them back there came from outdoors in the cold,” Hawkins said. “So, we didn’t want to make it too much of a shock for them.” At Tiger Ridge, Hetrick’s volunteers are working around the clock to improve the facility’s infrastructure to meet stricter re-quirements passed by the Ohio state legis-lature in 2012. In 2012, State Senator Troy Balderson, a Zanesville Republican and sponsor of the bill, worked through 16 drafts of the legislation before it was passed and signed by Governor John Kasich. The leg-islation came in response to an incident in Zanesville where four dozen wild animals owned by Terry W. Thompson were shot by law enforcement offi cers to protect the

public. Thompson then committed suicide after releasing the animals. Hawkins said the ODA is doing what state law requires. "I feel like it is what it is. We’re an ex-ecutive agency and our task is to enforce the laws that are passed by the state and what they say is what we have to work with," Hawkins said. Hawkins said about 50 percent of the law regarding exotic animals facilities is covered by the Ohio Revised Code, passed by the state legislature, and the other 50 percent is under regulation by the ODA through its administrative code. “Permit requirements, which include timelines, the insurance requirements, some of the fencing requirements, and some of the signage requirements are in the ORC,” Hawkins said. “The administrative code is mostly the caging and care requirements.” Last week, the ODA fi led a motion to dismiss a lawsuit fi led by Hetrick against the ODA under the grounds that Tiger Ridge still has the opportunity to appeal the ODA’s rul-ings through the administrative law system. She said until that procedure is exhausted, the ODA has authority. Once exhausted, it can be then be considered by a trial court. “He has a process in place to essentially offer him that due process,” Hawkins said. Hetrick’s attorney, Karen A. Novak of Toledo, fi led a ersponse Thursday to to the ODA’s request for dismissal declaring Hetrick's due process and equal protection rights were violated.

Does the NFL stiff the cities that host the Super Bowl?

Shedding some light on ending negativity in your life You can’t stop darkness. It can only be displaced with light. In the same fash-ion, you can’t stop thinking negatively; you have to replace negative thoughts with pos-itive ones. You can’t stop feeling sad, you have to start being happy instead. A common approach to improving life is trying to eliminate as many undesirable aspects as possible. This strategy is as inef-fective as attempting to stop thinking about a red and yellow striped elephant. In as much as a positive thought is required to displace a negative one, an undesirable facet is superseded by engaging in positive behavior. Just as light vanquishes darkness, im-provements to your life are made by replac-ing that which you don’t want with that which you do. However, before engaging in this process, you have to know what you want and don’t want. Let’s look at some examples. Jim wants to get in better physical shape. He is not pleased with his diet. He feels it consists of too much fast food. Jim also knows he spends too much of his discretionary time sitting around.

How does Jim improve his diet? He can’t just stop eating. Jim has to eat some-thing. So Jim needs to fi nd a healthier al-ternative to replace the fast food. Jim’s goal is to change his diet into something health-ier. How does Jim get into better physical shape? It is not possible for Jim to stop spending so much time in sedentary pur-suits without doing something else. He must replace sitting with a different type of behavior. So next time Jim would normally be spending an hour on the couch, he can go for a walk instead. Sara wants to be happier. She feels too much of her time is spent being blah or sad. It’s not possible for Sara to stop feeling sad. She needs to displace her sad feelings by

engaging in activities, thoughts, and pur-suits which make her happy. However, Sara must fi rst be able to spe-cifi cally identify exactly what makes her happy. In order to do this, she must have a solid understanding of herself including her strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dis-likes. Hank knows he is drifting through life without any direction. He really wants to do something about this. The only way Frank can put an end to his drifting is by identifying goals and then taking action to accomplish them. Frank’s aimlessness will stop once it is displaced by defi niteness of purpose. Carol is frustrated with her job. She is constantly bored with little to challenge her. Carol doesn’t like being frustrated but doesn’t know how to stop feeling that way. Furthermore, she is even frustrated about being frustrated. Just as is the case with Hank, Sara, and Jim, Carol must fi nd things to do which are engaging. Activities she fi nds challenging will displace the frustration Carol is expe-riencing. Carol can either explore options

that meet her needs within her current job or she can fi nd a new, more rewarding posi-tion. Just as light is required to vanquish darkness, you make changes in your life by replacing what you don’t want with some-thing you desire. This principle applies to all aspects of your life including behavior, thoughts, habits, and goals. Proactivity on your part is needed to change things for the better. Waiting and hoping is a passive approach that all too often results only in continued disappoint-ment. Believe in yourself along with your ability to do whatever it takes to get the results you want. Start today determining what light you need to vanquish your dark-ness.

How about this year’s Super Bowl, huh? You may know that the fi nal score in this nail-biter was 28 points for the Patriots to 24 for the Seahawks. Let me add: minus 2 million for the city of Glendale. Two million dollars, that is. That’s the amount that Mayor Jerry Weiers estimates that Glendale, Arizona lost by having the “honor” of hosting this year’s Super Bowl. Lost? Isn’t this the sports world’s spec-tacular a magic money machine? That’s what the NFL’s super slick bil-lionaire owners say as they hustle their Big Game from city to city, claiming that the

lucky host will gain $500 million in added hotel rentals, sales taxes, and other rev-enues. Independent analysts, however, show that host cities actually get far less than super returns for this honor, ranging from about $200 million to as low as $30 mil-lion.

Much of that money just replaces revenue from regular tourists. And in Glendale’s case, hordes of fans coming to the game chose to stay, eat, and party in Phoenix. Their money went to that destina-tion instead. And don’t forget to subtract a city’s added costs, such as thousands of police overtime hours, security for VIPs, street closings, and extra cleanup crews. And while Glendale did have its mo-ment in the global TV spotlight, Mayor Weiers isn’t exactly bullish on any real ben-efi t coming from that. “In the long run,” he says, “down the road, certainly we might break even on this.” Meanwhile, the people of Glendale

are still paying a heavy price for earlier failed gambles on big time sports. To stave off bankruptcy, 25 percent of city workers were terminated, street maintenance was cut, libraries and swimming pools reduced their hours, and taxes were raised. So, look out San Francisco, Houston, Minneapolis, and other cities next in line to host Super Bowls.

Pipeline pipe dreamTo the editor: After watching the most in-telligent State of the Union Address and listening to our president, who spoke to the people, it became very clear the Keystone XL Pipeline project would create many problems. I listened to every word our president said and the one thing that was very clear to me about the pipeline is it would go across 1,179 miles of land and cross over part of the Ogalla Aquifer. I needed to check why this Congress was so supportive of this and found a vast majority of campaign contributions in 2014 from oil and gas interests went to the GOP and Keystone expects to be rewarded for its support. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R- Kentucky, the new Senate majority leader, says he is all about jobs. Where has he been for the past 15 years? Building the pipeline could

slightly replace some of the jobs America has lost because of destructive cuts in fed-eral spending. But while about 42,000 construction jobs would be created, once the pipeline is operating it would only employ a few doz-en workers. Government spending on roads, bridg-es and schools would do the same thing but why don’t McConnell and his colleagues support a push to upgrade America’s crum-bling infrastructure? This pipeline is the worst thing for our environment and it comes from the people who have done all they can to de-stroy American jobs. And those people are employing the very arguments they used to ridicule government jobs programs to jus-tify a big give-away to their friends in the fossil fuel industry.Joann SchiavoneWalbridge

The National Museum of the Great Lakes’ second temporary exhibit, “Great Lakes Masters: 150 Years of Marine Art,” opened to the public Feb. 8 in the commu-nity room at the museum, located at 1701 Front St., Toledo. The exhibit, which features original works of marine art by a number of artists, runs through March 22. “The National Museum of the Great Lakes has a strong art collection with over 250 pieces of two-dimensional art. The col-lection covers a wide variety of mediums, topics and skill sets,” said Christopher Gillcrist, executive director of the Great Lakes Historical Society which owns and operates the museum. “What we present in ‘Great Lakes Masters: 150 Years of Marine Art’ are some of the best the Great Lakes has to offer, but it is certainly not a com-plete representation.” “The practice of marine art goes back centuries. On the Great Lakes, it truly be-gins to take off around the mid-19th cen-tury as the region became more populat-ed,” said Gillcrist “Three of the 19th cen-tury artists featured are V. D. Nickerson, Howard Sprague and Will H. Huntington. Biographical information on these artists is

“Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World” will be “on tour” at Imagination Station Toledo Feb. 14 through May 17. The exhibition explores all facets of the world’s most popular instrument – from its evolution into an instrument of popular culture to the science of creating sound with wood and steel. It is composed of three elements: the science of sound; the evolution, engineering and design of the guitar; and the guitar’s cultural impact. Visitors are invited to discover the sci-ence and history behind the instrument as they play the world’s largest guitar, see more than 60 instruments ranging from the rare and antique to the wildly popular and investigate how different materials affect a guitar’s sound through interactives, perfor-mance videos, audio and stunning images. “The science of sound is a rich area for scientifi c discovery. ‘Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World’ uses an instrument that most people are familiar with to explore some fascinating science concepts,” said Carl Nelson, chief scientist for Imagination Station. “Sound impacts our lives on a near-constant basis, but many

“Guitar” exhibition rocks science centerpeople never think about how sound is cre-ated and transmitted.” “The guitar is the most enduring icon in American history,” according to HP Newquist, the executive director and founder of the National Guitar Museum. “It has been around longer than baseball, basketball, soft drinks and sports cars. This exhibition is a celebration of all that, and more. “It’s hard to fi nd anyone who hasn’t been affected by the guitar, whether as players or as fans of music ranging from country and folk to jazz and rock. And it may be apocryphal, but it’s said that the two most recognizable man-made shapes on the planet are the Coke bottle and the electric guitar.” Newquist said. The exhibition will travel to 15-20 cit-ies over the next fi ve years before becoming the basis of The National Guitar Museum in its permanent home. “Guitar: The Instrument That Rocked the World,” is included in the cost of ad-mission to Imagination Station.

limited, but Huntington is the most elusive of these early ship portrait painters.” In the fi rst 75 years of the 20th cen-tury, Kinley Shogren became one of the most prolifi c Great Lakes portrait painters. Rolf Stoll, not typically considered a Great Lakes painter, delivered two fascinating Cleveland lakefront scenes in the early 1930s. Living artists in the exhibit include Alexander Cook, Paul LaMarre, Jr. and Robert McGreevy. LaMarre’s talents, often compared to those of Shogren, are highly sought by shipping companies and private collectors. McGreevy’s exacting detail often defi nes his work. Many consider his work to be the most historically researched paintings to-day. Admission to the exhibition is includ-ed with museum admission, which is free to members. To become a member of the museum, call 419-214-5000. Memberships start at $22 per year. Museum hours are Tues. through Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun. noon-5 p.m. The Schoonmaker Museum Ship is closed for the season.

Plant care activity tends to move in-doors in the winter and though spring of-fi cially starts next month, the recent frigid temperatures make it a great time to turn your attention to houseplants. With a wide variety of plants available for the home, growers can choose from types that produce blooms, are fragrant, have variegated foliage, are easy to grow, etc. Then, there are those plants that are not only attractive but also have extra ben-efi ts, such as healing or medicinal proper-ties. One plant, especially, has exception-al healing benefi ts for winter-related skin problems. If you are out in February’s cold weather very much you may be experienc-ing chapped lips, wind burn, cold sores and dry or cracked skin. This winter skin “cure-all” is Aloe vera or Aloe Barbadensis. Over time, Aloe vera has been known by many names, such as burn plant, elephant’s gall, lily of the des-ert, medicine plant, miracle plant, and un-guentine plant. With so many aliases, Aloe

Family The Press

‘Amazing Aloe’ plant offers many tremendous benefi ts

vera stacks up to be a very interesting as well as attractive houseplant. Aloe is a succulent and is a mem-ber of the lily plant family. The plant has white-speckled, grayish-green, long, thick leaves which are covered with soft spines. Aloe grows well in an environment of above 55 degree temperatures and in a sun-ny indoor location. The plant should be watered when its surface soil feels dry and fertilized on a regular basis with an all-pur-pose, houseplant fertilizer. Aloe vera has been known and culti-vated for many centuries. Six thousand years ago, the ancient Egyptians incised depictions of the plant on their temple and tomb walls, and it is said that Marco Polo, Aristotle and Hippocrates wrote of the Aloe vera plant. In most of the historical records con-cerning this plant, it is most frequently con-

nected with healing and medicinal uses. Aloe vera was fi rst cultivated in Africa but was later successfully transplanted to many countries around the world from Russia to the U.S. 2,000 years ago, aloe be-came a very much used plant in the cultures of China and Greece. In the U.S. today, it is grown for commercial use in the warm re-gions of Texas, Florida and California. Although it is an attractive and easy-care houseplant, Aloe vera’s “main claim to fame” is its myriad of medicinal properties. Throughout the centuries, it has been at-tributed to being everything from the “herb of immortality” by the early Egyptians, the “elixir of youth” by ancient Romans and a “complete cure-all” in Asia. More recent-ly, aloe does appear to be of benefi t health-wise. Most commonly, Aloe vera has been used as a remedy for a variety of skin ail-ments. You may have the plant (or know someone who has it) on a windowsill in their kitchen where the gel inside the leaves can be used on cuts, dry chapped skin, scrapes or burns. The gel is also effec-tive on rashes, insect bites and irritations of many kinds. Creams and lotions which contain Aloe vera are used as skin protec-

tors, acne remedies, dandruff treatments, sun and wind screens and cleansing agents. Hand sanitizers and skin cleansers that contain Aloe vera can be used during our cold, dry seasons to cleanse, moistur-ize and protect the skin. Aloe vera is also being added to facial tissues to reduce the irritation of frequents nose blowing when someone has a sinus allergy or a cold. Another medicinal use of Aloe vera, when used in capsule or liquid form, is as a mild laxative. Related to this benefi t of the plant is that it also acts as a detoxifi er, helping rid the body of poisons, pesticides, and chemicals that are detrimental to good health. Experts report that Aloe vera contains several antiseptic and anti-infl ammatory properties that can benefi t the human sys-tem. February gardening tip: Keep the foli-age of houseplants dusted and cleaned on a regular basis and check for pests such as scale insects, spider mites and mealy bugs. Increase the humidity for indoor plants by placing pots on a bed of pebbles in a tray set under the plant. Fill the tray with water and let it evaporate to increase the moisture in the atmosphere around the plant.

Can you say, “Dynasty”? The Clay wrestling program can. In the four-year history of the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, Clay has won every team wrestling championship. The Eagles got the runner-up fi nishes and bonus points needed to bring home its seventh straight league championship, dating back to Clay’s days in the Toledo City League. Clay coach Ralph Cubberly and Central coach Antonio Guerra were named TRAC Co-Coaches of the Year. Clay only defeat-ed Central by eight, 173-165, as Cubberly called the win a “team effort.” “There are just so many kids, you can’t pick one, especially when it comes down to eight points,” Cubberly said. “Everybody did something — that was the key. It was a team win, not an individual win, for us. “We won the tournament with the guys who didn’t win championships, and that’s how you always win tournaments. We won fi ve weight classes and Central won seven, but their team couldn’t produce the points necessary to win whereas our team was able to do that.” Clay had fi ve individual cham-pions — Nick Henneman (31-9), 113; Garret Anderson (30-10), 120; Calixtro Mondragon (32-10), 132; Richie Screptock (33-4), 138; and Matt Stencel (35-1), 195. For Henneman, Anderson and Mondragon, it was their fi rst league championship. Eagles fi nishing as runner-up were Lorenzo LeValley (27-12), 152; Andy Howard (24-15), 160; Kevin Witt (23-18), 182; Tyler Koester (20-8), 220; and Nick Daly (22-9), 285. The Central Michigan-bound Screptock, a 132 pound defending Division I state champion, said Cubberly’s message after the loss to Perrysburg hit home. “He kind of put it on us about where we needed to be at, and kind of put it for-ward that we need to keep the streak going on TRAC championships that we have,” Screptock said. “I was rooting for everyone to get the job done. We were getting a lot of pins, which was good for the team. We had a lot of people in the fi nals, and some didn’t win championships, but we fi nished strong as a team.”

Henneman honored Henneman was named TRAC Co-Wrestler of the Year alongside two Central champs — four-time TRAC champion Nate Hagan (145), an East Toledo resident who won a D-II state championship at 132 last year, and Rosendro Beltran (126). Henneman upset Central wrestler Josh Venia, a D-II defending state placer, 3-2 in the fi nal, which played a huge role in se-curing Clay’s team championship.

Clay wrestlers maintain hold on Three Rivers’ trophy

“There are a lot of things that could have changed the outcome of that tourna-ment since we only won by eight points,

but that (Henneman-Venia) was a head-to-head where if they won that match and we lost it, that would have made the tourna-

ment a tie,” Cubberly said. Cubberly said it was when LeValley fi nished second at 160, losing to Central wrestler Josh Mossing, 4-0, in the fi nal, that he knew his team had won the team cham-pionship. “(LeValley) was an unseeded kid who pinned the third seed, beat the second seed, and got in the fi nals. He prevented bonus points in a situation where I’m sure Central was counting on bonus points,” Cubberly said. Anderson, a freshman, defeated Findlay wrestler Joey Staschiak, 5-4, in two overtimes. “He won a championship in sudden victory in the ride-out time,” Cubberly said. “He could have just fallen over and he didn’t. He just kept on going and he beat a really good kid. In the fi nals, we had a lot of momentum going.” For Screptock, making the league championship easier was that Central wres-tler and East Toledo resident Nate Hagan, who is usually in his weight class, wres-tled up one division to maximize Central’s points. The two have paired up several times on the mat this year, with each get-ting his share of victories. “I enjoy going against Nate because I do need people at his level, which is the same level that I am at, because it helps show me where I am at this year, what I need to work on and be ready for that in March,” Screptock said. “Our styles are a little bit different — he likes to attack a little more where I tend to stay back on the more defensive side.”

Comet wrestlers complete Northern Buckeye three-peatBy Yaneek SmithPress Contributing [email protected]

The sign of a successful wrestling pro-gram is one that can lose quality athletes and come back the next year with a full head of steam. The Genoa program appears more and more to fit that mold. Genoa completed the regular season by winning its third consecutive Northern Buckeye Conference title, scoring 169 points, well ahead of the two second-place teams, Eastwood and Otsego, each scoring 134. Of the 14 weight divisions, Genoa placed in 10, winning five, finishing sec-ond in two, third in one, and fourth in two more classes. Reigning state cham-pion Jay Nino and Tyler Baird were the lone wrestlers to repeat as league cham-pions, but did so in close matches. Nino, who set the Ohio record for single-season victories last year with 65 and finished second earlier in the year at the pres-tigious Perrysburg Invitational, won his match over Elmwood’s Devin Uzelac, 4-2, in the finals at 220 pounds, giving him three straight NBC titles, and Baird edged Elmwood’s Griffin Sperry, 1-0, in the title match at 182. The other winners were Damian D’Emilio (120), who pinned Fostoria’s Austin Struble at 3:06 in the finals, Devon Dunbar-Cannon (138), who defeated reign-ing champion Trent Soto of Otsego, 5-4, in the title match, and Brandon Bates (145), who, like Dunbar-Cannon, defeated a reigning champion, Eastwood’s Mitchell Davidson, 6-1, in the finals. Those five league champions have accumulated an outstanding combined record of 173-26 (.869) during the season. Bates leads the team with 44 victories com-pared to five losses, followed by D’Emilio (43-9), Nino (33-2), Dunbar-Cannon (29-3) and Baird (24-7). Matt Herrick (195) was nearly a league champion himself, falling in a close match to Eastwood’s Zan Zientek, 5-3, in the finals. And Adam Bates (132) finished sec-ond, too, losing to Otsego’s Buddy Limes, 14-4, in the title match. Andrew Muir (113) finished third, beating Lake’s Dylan Cole,

10-7, in the consolation finals and Thor Morrison (106) and Xavier Beach (152) both finished fourth. Otsego was the pre-season coaches’ favorite, but by the end of the season, everyone knew who the real champions were. Coach Bob Bergman credits his wres-tlers’ resolve. “It’s a special group, and that’s why we’re here,” he said. “It’s about the kids. They are the driving force, and they make it special. It’s a pleasure to be a part of it all and be in trenches with them. “We’re blessed with a lot of great kids that come from great families, and we have a lot of support from the administration.

We have a great staff that brings something to the table that’s unique and it’s a big blessing to have them.” The Comets also advanced to the regional semifinals of the Division III team dual tournament. The No. 3 team in Region 17, Genoa defeated No. 6 Gibsonburg by one point, 34-33, in the first round before beating No. 2 Otsego, 32-27, to advance to take on the top seed, Oak Harbor, which ended the Comets’ run. Genoa finished second at the North Coast Duals, third at the Gold Medal Duals and sixth at the 25-team Perrysburg Invite. Bergman, now in his fourth year, has worked his way up the ranks, previously

serving as a varsity assistant for two years under Joe Ziebold and as the head coach of the middle school program for five years before that. He has a staff that includes five assistants — Chris Kamelesky, Dave Wlodarz, Pat Moore, Dom D’Emilio and Bill Cannon — men for whom he has great respect. “It goes to our personalities on our coaching staff being able to tap into the dif-ferent guys,” said Bergman, a 2004 Genoa graduate. “They can hit the buttons that I can’t, and that helps us avoid compla-cency.” Bergman also credits Genoa’s former wrestlers, like Max Reeder, Nathan Moore, Cody Buckner, Tyler Rozak, Seth Morrison, Jake Fejes, Dustin Widmer and Robert Roginski, who have helped to provide guidance for the club this season. “The alumni came back in and hit the reset button for us,” Bergman said, referring to the time shortly after the Comets lost to both Fostoria and Otsego in an early-season tri-meet. “The previous classes have done a great job of putting the bar up there.” He said the team benefited from the presence of Dunbar-Cannon who, finished third at the 126 pound Division III state meet wrestling for Northwood, has pro-vided the club with another elite wrestler. He could not wrestle until the mid-point of the season because of transfer rules, and from that point it was just added points for Genoa. “Devon’s been a huge boast to the intensity in our drilling,” Bergman said. “He’s stepped in and took a leadership role. The alpha male syndrome kicked in and everyone steps up to the plate and he makes everyone better around them. Damian and Brandon thrive off that chal-lenge. (Devon) presents a new style of wrestling. We’re all better because of what Devon’s brought to the table and it’s been a shot in the arm.” Bergman also has high praise for Brandon Bates. “I’d say that Brandon has been a con-sistent force for us for the last four years,” Bergman said. “His freshman year, he had 32 wins, then 42 wins, and last year he had 50 wins. We’re going to miss him big time. He’s about as committed as they come.”

The Toledo City League had a new twist, and a new champion, at its league wrestling tournament.

The CL invited Toledo Area Athletic Conference schools to participate in the tournament, and fi rst-year coach Greg Spoores’ Gibsonburg Golden Bears emerged as the team champion.

Gibsonburg won six of eight champi-onship matches en route to scoring 203 points. Defending CL champion Waite was second with 179½. Northwood (35½) fi n-ished seventh.

Waite put a league-high nine wres-tlers in the championship fi nals but won just two matches. Eduardo Jackson pinned Gibsonburg freshman Marciano Salazar in 5:58 at 160 pounds, while Jatwan Morris won by default over Bowsher’s Natividad Castro at 195.

Taking second for Waite were Dylan Rathburn at 106 pounds, Krys Young (120), Tristan Snider (126), Juan Mareno (138), James Johnson (145), Josh Kendall (170) and Jovan Sanson (285). Anthony Reigle was third at 182 for the Indians.

“We wrestled really tough,” Spoores said. “We’ve been battling some injuries, and the fl u swept through us. We had two kids with ear infections who were battling through practice every day. Two other kids had sore throats and did whatever they could to make weight. The kids were tough and diligent and battled through all that. They earned the team championship.”

Spoores said one of Gibsonburg’s big-gest surprises was freshman Avery Teeple, who pinned top-seeded Anthony Rosales of Waite in 1:57 in the 113-pound fi nals. Teeple had competed at 120 for most of this season, compiling a 12-18 record.

“He had a lot of success in biddy and middle school,” Spoores said. “He prob-ably should be a 106-pounder. He’s had confi dence this year, but it’s a big step from middle school to high school. He worked hard to get his weight down to 113, to have an opportunity for sectionals. Him winning and the kids knowing how bad he struggled all year, that got everybody fi red up and we just ran with it from there.”

The Golden Bears’ other individual champions were freshman Hugo Villerreal at 132, juniors Damien Schmeltz at 138, Tony Vasquez at 145 and Griffi n Geary at 152, and sophomore Madison Jaso at 195.

Salazar, at 160, and senior Dan Henline (182) both took second for Gibsonburg. Salazar was fi lling in for junior Marcus Kreais, who hyper-extended his elbow last Tuesday and was unable to compete.

“Marciano pinned the fi rst kid he wres-tled and he wrestled very well,” Spoores said. “He got us a considerable amount of points.”

Jaso improved to 15-0 with a 4-0 win over Start’s Adam Koehler in the fi nal.

“Madison and his younger brother, Brady, transferred to Gibsonburg this year,” Spoores said. “I’m surprised with Madison a little bit, because he only weighs 179 pounds. He’s a hard worker and a strong kid. I had him in biddy, so I know what his ability is and we work really hard with him in practice. He’s beating some good kids.”

Villerreal and Schmeltz both had easy wins. Villerreal tech-falled Scott’s Dajon Pettis, 19-2, and Schmeltz pinned Juan Mareno of Waite in 1:12. Schmeltz im-proved to 34-7.

“Damien has a couple losses to state placers and state qualifi ers,” Spoores said. “He won a match at districts last year, so I look for him to return to districts and pos-sibly make a run for Columbus as well.”

Villerreal ran his record to 23-4, with one of those losses coming by injury default in the Bears’ season-opening tournament and two other losses coming in overtime to a returning state placer and a state qualifi er.

“Hugo is an outstanding freshman,” Spoores said. “We’re excited about what he has. He’s going to have a lot to contribute to the future. I look for him to make a push to Columbus.”

Vasquez, a team captain, got past Waite’s Johnson in the 145-pound fi nals, 3-1. Vasquez improved to 32-8.

“Tony is probably one of the best all-around athletes on the team,” Spoores said. “He is dedicated, and most of his losses are to signifi cant competition against Division I and II teams on our schedule. I defi nitely believe he has the ability to make a run at Columbus if he keeps working hard and stays healthy.”

Geary emerged with a 4-2 overtime win over Toledo Christian’s Michael Geis in the championship match, running his record to 30-7.

City League crowns new champion — Gibsonburg

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

It may sound strange, but it’s true. Northwood junior wrestler Jonny Wheeler became the Rangers’ fi rst-ever City League wrestling champion last weekend at Bowsher High School.

Northwood used to compete in the Ohio Wrestling League along with Gibsonburg, but the OWL disbanded after last season. The City League, which re-sumed wrestling prior to the 2013-14 sea-son, invited wrestlers from Northwood, Gibsonburg, Toledo Christian and Danbury – schools that compete in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference in every other sport – to participate in the CL tourney this year.

“The Toledo Christian coach (Mike Geis) took the bull by the horns and con-tacted Toledo City League offi cials and asked if we could compete in their tour-nament,” Northwood coach Nick Encheff said. “It was a great move for the City League and TAAC schools. Right now, with Toledo schools building their (wrestling) programs back up, I think the competi-

Northwood’s fi rst City champ

Wheeler looking for bigger thingstion level is very even. In a few years, who knows what will happen.”

Gibsonburg outscored defending cham-pion Waite for the team title, and Wheeler earned Northwood’s lone individual title. The Rangers are competing with just four wrestlers at this juncture, yet they managed to take seventh at the 10-team event.

“It’s pretty cool, big, especially since I’ve never been a league champ,” said Wheeler, a 126-pounder, of winning a CL title. “It means a lot. I knew if I wrestled my best I could possibly do it.”

Wheeler earned a 10-2 major decision over Tristan Snider of Waite in the champi-onship match.

“Jonny is a solid wrestler,” Encheff said. “He’s good in all three positions – neutral, top and bottom. He’s got some quality wins this year against state-caliber kids. We are looking for him to do well in the postseason.”

In a third-place CL match, Northwood 152-pounder Trevor Mack won by default over Woodward’s Anthony Maier. Mack, a sophomore who went 3-1 during the tour-nament, won the OWL title at 138 last year. He improved to 15-14 this season.

“Trevor lost in the semis to the kid from Toledo Christian (Michael Geis), who got second,” Encheff said. “He’s working on some areas of improvement on the top and bottom position. He wrestled well on his feet. He had a tech fall and won another match 14-0.”

The Rangers started the season with fi ve wrestlers, including Wheeler, who is 24-6, and Mack. The others were ju-nior Collin Gutekunst, who is 4-12 at 160 pounds, freshman Ronnie Vendt at 220 and 170-pounder Trent Dale, who dislocated his patella more than a month ago and has a small ACL tear.

Encheff took over the program just three weeks before the season started. Encheff was also Northwood’s head coach from 1995-2008.

“We’re still learning about each other,” Encheff said of this year’s group. “I’ve nev-er coached these young men, and I’m still learning their styles and fi nally starting to mesh on how we go about coaching and fi nding their strengths and weaknesses.”

The lack of depth makes things in-teresting in Northwood’s wrestling room. Wheeler, for instance, drills with Mack, who is 25 pounds heavier.

“Me and him have gone against each other since biddy, for about six years,” Wheeler said. “I think it helps me a lot. He’s a lot stronger and it makes it easier for me to wrestle guys my size in matches. Sometimes it would help (drilling with someone smaller), to get the quickness fac-tor, but he’s a good drill partner.”

Wheeler’s hard work with Mack has paid dividends.

He has six losses, but consider the com-petition. Wheeler lost to a returning state qualifi er at the Northwood Invitational. He lost to the third-place state fi nisher in Division I last year, and has lost twice to Oak Harbor senior Nick Bergman, a state alternate last season, by 1-0 and 4-3 scores, at the PIT and Maumee Bay Classic tourna-ments.

Wheeler’s other losses have come against defending D-III state champion Jake Spiess from Delta, 5-2, at Maumee Bay, and he has split two matches with Central Catholic’s two-time Three Rivers Athletic Conference champion, Rosendo Beltran, a D-II state qualifi er in 2014. Wheeler beat Beltran 3-1 at the PIT tournament and lost to him 1-0 at the Anthony Wayne Duals.

“I’ve been doing pretty good,” said Wheeler, a starting fullback on the Rangers’ football team. “I would have liked to have some of those matches go my way. Hopefully those come my way when it comes time for sectionals and districts and, hopefully, state.”

Wheeler suffered a rotator cuff injury at the end of the regular season last year and was unable to compete at the sectional tournament. He fi nished with a 19-7 record.

As freshman, Morgan Connor, Hannah Novak, Haley Orr, Maddison Grimes, Samantha Enck, Jessalyn Bohland, and Jenna Kidd arrived at Clay with high hopes to resurrect the basketball program.

Clay was 1-20 during their freshman year, so the road would be a long one.

As freshman, most of the girls split time between freshman games and junior varsity games. They won 14 games as a JV team, and went 16-1 and were TRAC co-champions for the freshman team. Before their sophomore season began, coach Corey Slovak gave them a little bit of a reality check,

“The gap between JV basketball and varsity basketball may as well be as wide as the Grand Canyon. The game is faster, the players are bigger and stronger, and you better get ready,” Slovak said.

That season would be a year-long learning experience for a young team, to the tune of a 5-14 record.

“We wanted to instill toughness and competitiveness right away, so there were no excuses, no avoiding top area teams, as a staff we wanted the girls to act like winners and practice like winners, even if we weren’t on the right side of the scoreboard very often,” said Slovak.

Things would begin to change during their junior year. A year of experience can be very valuable, and add to that the infusion of more young talent. Now some of those losses ended up turning into wins — 14 to be exact, more than Clay’s varsity team had won the previous three seasons combined.

Of course, this year’ seniors are getting a little help from underclassmen — two juniors, Haley Hess and Hannah Hess, are scoring at a clip of 15.2 and 14 points per game. The two are long distance runners, and their conditioning, speed, and shooting skills play a huge role. Connor is averaging nine points per game.

This year’s 15-3 Eagles were 8-3 in the TRAC entering play last weekend, two games behind league leaders Notre Dame

Long road for Clay seniors paying off in dividends

(17-2, 11-1) and Central Catholic (13-5, 11-1).“The tournament game proved to be

the launching point for this season. It was the fi rst time in a very long time Clay had won a game in the tournament, and we used that motivation all during the off season to keep getting better,” Slovak said.

“The two words that always come to mind when I think of this group of seven are resilient and relentless. They had to

face adversity early in the summer when Morgan tore her ACL, and we knew no one was going to feel sorry for us as a team, so everybody upped their efforts in open gym, in the weight room, and on the track to get stronger, better conditioned, and improve their skills on the court,” the Clay coach added.

Hannah Novak, a year removed from an ACL herself, was fi rst up to fi ll in for

Connor while she rehabbed. Sam Enck and Haley Orr and juniors Hannah and Haley Hess would join her in the early season starting line-up their senior year.

“We have big goals posted in our locker room that give us a purpose every day in practice,” Slovak said.

Slovak says the goals include getting to 19 wins, which would tie the all-time school record for girls’ basketball at Clay, and making a run in the tournament.

“This group of seniors has learned their roles over the last two years, and they are ‘all-in’ when it comes to trusting their teammates believing they can win. Haley Orr and Samantha Enck are the defensive specialists, oftentimes guarding the opposing team’s best players, no matter what the position.

“One night they might be guarding the best point guard in the league, and the next game one of them will be on a 6-2 post player,” which Slovak says is a great luxury to have when game planning.

Slovak added that Enck also has the ability to get hot on offense and be a fourth scoring threat, which most teams don’t have.

“Hannah Novak is the ‘sixth starter,’ and fi lls any role Clay needs with 100 percent effort and high basketball IQ. She is selfl ess and team oriented in every way, and that type of leadership is more important than anything found on a stat sheet.

“Morgan has played better than ex-pected coming back from her ACL injury, averaging around nine points a game.

“Just having her on the fl oor with her three-point shooting skill gives us more op-tions on offense than most teams can de-fend,” said Slovak.

Maddison Grimes and Jessalyn Bohland are called on to play strong min-utes off the bench with post play, rebound-ing, and good defense.

“Jessy saved our tails at Perrysburg with her best game of the year, and many nights Maddison is the most active player on the fl oor when it comes to hustle plays. Being able to bring that kind of energy off the bench from seniors who want to win, that’s all a coach can ask for,” said Slovak.

Perhaps this is the start of something special.

With a new coach that is committed to the program, a special player in CeCe Gozdowski and a team that is committed to playing defense, Cardinal Stritch might be in the midst of an important season.

Currently 11-8 overall and 10-4 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, Stritch has won fi ve of its last seven games.

The team, which has its third coach in as many years, has gone 10-14, 12-11 and 8-13, respectively, in each of the last three seasons. This season is an opportunity for the club to reach new heights by notching at least 13 victories and winning that elu-sive sectional title.

“I feel pretty good (about where we are),” Stritch coach Cathy Hanek said. “We’ve defi nitely been getting better, hit-ting our stride in the second half of the year. Some other kids besides CeCe are carrying the load offensively. One of those people is Kali (Hardy) – she is looking to shoot more and score more. She’s opened things up in-side by being an outside threat.”

Gozdowski, a senior center who stands 5-9, leads the team in scoring and rebound-ing. She is averaging 10.4 points and 6.9 rebounds, which rank seventh and third, respectively, in the TAAC.

“She’s huge for us, and I think our play-ers feed off her leadership,” Hanek said. “When we are struggling, we look to go to her. The best thing she’s done is she’s im-proved her outside shot. That’s helped her a lot to get to the basket. She has bigger post players to go up against. Now that she’s a threat on the outside — that opens things up on the inside. The best thing she’s done is improve on the mid-range jumper.”

Kali Hardy, the 5-6 junior point guard, is someone who will likely have to play a major role within the offense if the Cardinals are to make a run in the tournament.

“She’s a little ball of energy,” Hanek said. “On defense, she’s creating havoc and she does a really good job of getting us into what we’re trying to run offensively. She’s our primary ball handler and she kind of

has a calming infl uence on everyone else. She’s pretty steady.”

Hardy and Gozdowski are joined in the starting lineup by three juniors, 5-9 shoot-ing guard Jettie Moore, 5-7 small forward Abby Cronin and 5-8 power forward Kama Hardy, Kali’s cousin. Kama Hardy ranks fi fth in the TAAC at 6.4 rebounds.

“(Kama) is usually guarding the other team’s biggest player in the post,” said Hanek, a Youngstown native who played collegiately at Youngstown State University. “She has a nose for the ball, she’s long and lanky. She’s not that tall, but she’s got really long arms and she fi nds the ball and she doesn’t give up, and that’s why

she gets those rebounds.”Hanek credits Cronin for her outside

shooting and notes that Moore has drasti-cally improved offensively while playing a vital role on the defensive end.

Madison Niehaus, a 5-8 senior wing, is one of the key reserves along with 5-7 sophomore guard Jami Hardy, 5-9 senior forward Madison Moran, who starts on oc-casion, and 5-6 senior guard Tori Pinciotti.

“We feel like we have an advantage when we go to our bench,” Hanek said. “Jami has come in and been a spark for us. It’s a little bit of a chess match when we go to our bench. Teams might take them lightly and they don’t expect big things, but their role is just as important as the kids that start the game.”

ily, friends, grandchildren, and spiritual preferences. Dennis Pavley owner, of Eggleston Meinert & Pavley Funeral Home, states “The families we serve today want to honor the life of their loved one in a way that re-fl ects that person’s taste, values and life ex-periences. We know, from our experience, that planning in advance of need and cap-turing preferences and values is extremely helpful for survivors.” Gladieux is available to speak to indi-viduals, clubs and civic organizations.

At the clubs Due to testing, there has been a change in the date when the East Toledo Club will tour the L. Hollingworth School for the Talented & Gifted. The new date is Friday, Feb. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The charter school last year completed renovations of the former Jobst building at 653 Miami Street which was purchased for $307,744, according to the Lucas County auditor records. The school, which had been located at the former Sacred Heart School on Sixth Street, opened in the fall. Enrollment has grown from just under 100 students in grades K-6 to a projected 330 students for the coming school year up to the ninth grade. The public is invited, but reservations are required.

The bottom line First Defi ance Financial Corp. reported earnings of $2.38 per share for 2014, up 8.7 percent from 2013, according to a company spokesperson. The company set a record for net in-come, totaling $23.7 million. First Defi ance is the parent company for First Federal Bank with local offi ces in Genoa and Oregon and First Federal Insurance.


A new “playscape” at Pearson Metropark and a similar playground at Farnsworth Metropark together won a fi rst place award for capital improvements from the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association, according to Scott Carpenter, Metroparks spokesperson. Each of the playgrounds was crafted to create a series of interactive play envi-ronments. The Pearson playground was in-spired by that park’s history as one of the last remaining pieces of the Great Black Swamp. The playgrounds were made possible because of an extensive community volun-teer effort, corporate and community dona-tions and partnerships with the local arts community. Volunteers from the BP-Husky Refi nery donated more than 350 service hours dis-mantling the old playground equipment at Pearson. The refi nery also led a fun-draising challenge that resulted in over $100,000 worth of donations from the com-pany, Friends of Pearson and the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. To complement the fundraising efforts, Metroparks offered park visitors the oppor-tunity to purchase engraved bricks. Metroparks worked with the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo to locate a local company, Graphite Design & Build, which created custom sculptures that make each of the new playgrounds unique. The award was presented February 3 during OPRA’s annual conference and trade show at Kalahari Resort and Conference Center in Sandusky. Metroparks won a to-tal of six awards for capital improvements, programming, law enforcement, natural re-sources conservation and management in-novation.

nspirational essage of the eek: Angels Need Our Help

Life sometimes seems like a battle, both in the

small affairs of daily life as well as in the bigger,

more significant ones. In the battle of good over

evil, it doesn’t always seem like the good guys win.

Maybe in the long run they do, but in the meantime,

the good guys need all the help they can get. To

make matters worse, the ‘bad guys’ sometimes

seem to have better marketing. Evil can look very

attractive, while virtue and goodness look like the

proverbial ‘homely stepchild’ that nobody wants.

We really do need to join the struggle and give the

angels some help. Think of all the unresolved

social evils in the world: hunger, poverty, war,

illiteracy, and myriad forms of injustice. We should

appeal to the ‘better angels of our nature’ to help us

in this struggle, as we should be ready and willing

to help the angels as they fight the glorious fight.

God wants and needs our help in this fight, and

every good act that we do makes the world a better

place. So put on God’s armor now! Then when the

evil day comes, you will be able to resist the

enemy’s attacks. Good News Bible Ephesians

6:13
