“GREAT USED CARS AT A FAIR PRICE”“GREAT USED CARS AT A FAIR PRICE”

The recent freeze-thaw cycle of weath-er is contributing to the perfect brew for potholes. As of last week, however, fewer than 10 complaint/claims had been fi led about potholes causing vehicle damage on state roads in the eight counties that comprise Ohio Department of Transportation’s District 2. In 2014, there were 62 complaint/claims fi led in the Ohio Court of Claims, which handles claims fi led through the de-partment. “So far, none of them have gone com-pletely through their cycle of submittal-in-vestigation- review by the court,” Theresa Pollick, an ODOT spokesperson, said re-cently, adding a majority of complaints this year are in contractors’ work zones and the contractors are responsible for handling those cases. “Last year, the pavement on I-75 in downtown Toledo was in poor condition,” she said. “This year, that area is under con-struction but repairs have been made and conditions are improved at that location. This year, a large (damaged) area like that does not exist. We have also been extremely pro-active to prevent smaller potholes from becoming large.” In 2014, the 62 cases handled by the court resulted in motorists being reim-bursed for a total of $31,400. In 2013, the court handled only 17 cas-es for pothole damage and paid out $3,700. To fi le a claim with the Court of Claims drivers must determine if ODOT has ju-risdiction through its maintenance of the highway in question. In some cases, ODOT contracts with political subdivisions (cit-ies or townships) to maintain interstates within their boundaries, for instance. Next, drivers must prove that ODOT received no-tice of the existence of a pothole and that ODOT’s failure to repair the pothole in a timely fashion led to the vehicle’s damage. Claim forms can be downloaded from the court’s website. Williams, Fulton, Lucas, Henry, Wood,


The Oregon school board may name a replacement for the superintendent’s posi-tion when it meets March 16. The board is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m. in the Clay High School media center to discuss a successor to Dr. Lonny Rivera, who has accepted the position of Associate Superintendent with the Ohio Department of Education. He will begin his new duties April 27. “If all goes right, we should know who our superintendent will be by the end of that meeting,” board vice president Jeff Zivisky said Thursday. “Whoever assumes that position has some huge shoes to fi ll. Lonny was the perfect fi t for this communi-ty and had many accomplishments during his short time in the position. My thought is that the person coming in has to do their re-search and homework so they can start per-forming and contributing from day one. We have too many positive items happening right now as a district. We cannot afford to slow down or take a step backwards while a new person learns.”

The announcement of Rivera’s depar-ture was made last week in Columbus. “I have seen the challenges faced by Oregon schools and other districts like ours,” Dr. Rivera said in a prepared state-ment. “This new position will allow me to work on behalf of Oregon and other communities like ours which are facing diffi cult times in areas ranging from fund-ing to unfunded mandated educational re-quirements. While I am physically leaving Oregon, I will continue to work on behalf of the community in Columbus. I will always

be an Eagle.” Carol Molnar, President of the Oregon board, called it a “bittersweet moment for Oregon City Schools.” “We’re disappointed to lose a leader of Dr. Rivera’s stature, yet at the same time recognize that this opportunity would not have presented itself without the success of his efforts on behalf of Oregon schools,” she said. In a letter to the board, Dr. Rivera called his role as the district’s superintendent “a life-altering event” for him. “Looking back on my short tenure, it is my hope and prayer that some good was done that will impact our children for the years to come,” the letter said. The Oregon Schools Foundation was developed while he was superintendent and the district established programs with input from local businesses that were de-signed to meet the needs of employers. He’s been Oregon superintendent since August 2013. A 1991 graduate of Clay High School, he’s also held administrative positions with Toledo and Maumee schools.

Dr. Rivera received his bachelor’s de-gree in Special Education from Cleveland State University in 1996, a master’s de-gree in Education and Supervision from the University of Toledo in 2000, and his PhD in Education Administration and Supervision from the University of Toledo in 2009. Ziviski said he was disappointed to see Rivera leave the district but understood his decision. “Two years ago, I fought hard to get Lonny to come to the district, and for the past couple weeks, I have tried hard to get him to stay in the district,” Ziviski said. “But how can you tell a friend not to take an opportunity that is not only a good ca-reer move for him, but will ultimately ben-efi t the children of Oregon schools as well as children all throughout the State of Ohio. “Over the past two years, I saw what he has accomplished and how every decision he made was for the benefi t of the children and to enhance the educational experience. Not only do I consider him one of the fi n-est educators I have known, over the past two years he has became a close friend. He has done tremendous things for our district and I expect him to accomplish amazing things down in Columbus.” The school board plans to seek voter approval later this year of a 3.95-mill levy.

Heating help deadline Area residents who need help pay-ing heating bills may apply for assistance through WSOS Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP) through March 31. The program provides utility assis-tance for Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca county residents who are facing a utility shut-off or have already had a util-ity disconnect, as well as households with a heating supply (propane, fuel oil, wood, kerosene, coal or corn pellets) that will last fewer than 10 days. The program also pro-vides fi nancial assistance for utility depos-its. Along with EHEAP, customers of First Energy (Ohio Edison and Toledo Edison) who need help paying utility bills may be eligible for added assistance. Funds may be used in addition to EHEAP assistance, and are also available to those who have already received help through EHEAP. These funds are available on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, and are available for Ohio Edison or Toledo Edison customers only. Customers may enroll in either or both programs through March 31 or until funds are exhausted. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 1-888-441-4327 or 419-334-8911. Information is also available at www.wsos.org under the “Utility Assistance” tab on the main page.

Freeze-thaws perfect brew for potholesOttawa, Sandusky and Seneca counties comprise District 2. Stacy Weber, a public information of-fi cer with the City of Toledo, said last week the city continues to receive reports of pot-holes through its 419-936-BUMP phone number and the SeeClickFix computer ap-plication. “Since the fi rst of the year we’ve fi lled over 13,000 potholes,” she said. In Lake Township, pothole damage has been negligible so far, according to Dan McLargin, road supervisor. “We have not had any complaints so far, nor have we had to fi ll any yet,” McLargin said. “The roads are about the same as last year but some roads had more of a washboard ride to them than they did last year.” According to the Ohio Insurance Institute, most municipalities cite “sover-eign immunity” protection from pothole-related damage. However, some municipal-ities have ordinances in place stating that if vehicles are damaged by coming into con-tact with a pothole that has been reported for repair, the city may be responsible for covering your insurance deductible. Gibsonburg administrator Marc Glotzbecker said there hasn’t been a com-plaint fi led with the village in the two years he’s been in the job. “To my knowledge we do not have such a (reimbursement) policy in place. We try to stay on top of potholes as best we can and cold patch them as quickly as possible

when they appear. Obviously, our roads are not perfect, but we try to stay on top of them,” he said. Lake Township Administrator Mark Hummer also said the township doesn’t have a policy for reimbursing motorists for damage to their vehicles.

Randall Genzman, Oak Harbor Village Administrator, said his town tries to be pro-active by maintaining roads. “We currently do not have a policy for pothole damage,” he said. “We try to avoid that by maintaining the streets to avoid pot-holes, which we have been very success-ful in doing. If we have a pothole develop, which is unavoidable, we try to remedy the problem as soon as we hear of it.” Potholes occur when snow and ice melt as part of the seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The resulting water seeps beneath the pavement through cracks caused by the wear and tear of traffi c. When tem-peratures drop to freezing levels, the water becomes ice and expands below the pave-ment, forcing the pavement to rise. As the weight of traffi c continues to pound on this raised section – and the temperatures once again rise above freezing – a divot occurs under the surface and the pavement breaks,

Legislation reintroduced Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH) has reintroduced the VA Appeals Backlog Relief Act, legislation intend-ed to expedite the processing of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs appeals claims. The legislation places a 12-month deadline for all appeals claims to be certifi ed by a regional VA offi ce and sent to the Board of Veterans Appeals. Currently, when an initial VA claim is denied, a veteran has the choice to appeal the decision. However, in order to do this, he or she must enter into a process, which has forced many veterans to wait years before receiving a fi nal decision. The deadline imposed by the Latta’s legislation would require the VA to expedite and streamline these procedures to ensure this trend does not continue.

Special enforcement The Lake Township Police Department will conduct a special traffi c enforcement blitz March 14 -18. Additional patrol offi cers will be tar-geting violations for speeding, not us-ing seat belts and impaired driving. Overtime costs are being funded by a state grant.


State Senator Edna Brown (D – Toledo) offered sponsor testimony last week before the State and Local Government Committee on a bill crafted to protect home owners from having liens placed on their property to cover delinquent water bills from previ-ous owners. With a few exceptions, current state law allows water suppliers to place liens on property for overdue bills, regardless of how delinquent and whether there is a change in ownership. Brown’s bill gives a property buyer or seller the option of requesting to pay a fi nal water bill at the time of sale. If no water charges are reported at the time, a water au-thority can’t place a lien on the home for bills due prior to the sale. A property buyer in Lucas County was faced with just such a situation, Brown said.

Panel hears testimony on water lien bill “This issue came to my attention when a homeowner in my district had their prop-erty taxes diverted to pay a 20-year-old de-linquent water bill from a previous owner,” she said. The delinquent bill hadn’t been prop-erly fi led with the county auditor’s offi ce and didn’t appear on a title search when the home was purchased – something her bill attempts to correct by requiring delin-quencies to be promptly certifi ed with the auditor’s offi ce. “We had questions in committee on why would the buyer ever want to request a fi nal bill. It’s to protect them in the fu-ture from being assessed for that bill,” said James Carmean, a spokesman for Sen. Brown. “If they request it and are told there is no outstanding balance then they’re pro-tected. In the situation with the 20-year-old bill, it basically got lost for that amount of time. They found it and said they’re going to assess it against the new homeowner.” He said the bill is similar to a bill in-troduced during the last legislative session

but didn’t make it out of committee. After that bill was introduced, the Ohio Revised Code was amended to prevent a municipality from certifying unpaid water charges to a county auditor and preventing the auditor from placing a lien against the property for the charges if:• The property has been transferred or sold to a subdivision that has created a land bank program and the unpaid charges arose before the sale or transfer.• The property has been sold at a sheriff’s or auditor’s sale to a buyer unrelated to the previous owner and the unpaid charges were incurred before the sale.• The property has been forfeited to the state for delinquent taxes unless the owner of record redeems the property.

Co-sponsors of Sen. Brown’s bill in-clude Sen. Charleta Tavares (D – Columbus), Sen. Kenny Yuko (D – Richmond Heights), Sen. Bill Beagle (R- Tipp City) and Sen. Bill Seitz (D – Cincinnati).

Woodmore Elementary School

“Guys and Dolls”: The fi nal act By Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

“Guys and Dolls” may be a lively mu-sical, but when it’s presented this week at Woodmore Elementary School it will be somewhat of a solemn occasion for stu-dents, staffers and community members involved in the production. When the curtain falls it will be for the last time at the school which has been va-cated and will face demolition. The stage has been used for high school productions even after a high school building was con-structed – without a stage – in the Village of Elmore. For the director, Marcia Busdeker, this production will be especially poignant. As a Woodmore student in the 1970s, her fi rst role on the stage came when she played a maid in “The Matchmaker.” “I had six lines and I was the only sophomore in the entire show,” she re-called last week. “Everyone else in the cast was a junior or senior. So this is very nos-talgic for me. I’ll be very sad when it gets demolished.” Voters approved a levy for a new el-ementary school in 2012. Students have already been transferred to the new build-ing - a stone’s throw from the building con-structed in the 1920s. Busdeker chose “Guys and Dolls” more than a year ago for the district’s musical fi -nale in the building. “I wanted to direct it because it’s my absolute favorite musical,” she said. “I also wanted to do something completely differ-ent from what we’d done the previous year, which was a medieval fairy tale, “Once Upon a Mattress.” This is a completely dif-ferent show. It’s set in the 1950s and is a story about gamblers and is set in a club. “The students are having a ball with this. It’s a very large cast of about 55 stu-dents and we have 15 students participat-ing backstage. The orchestra consists of community members, parents and two or three students from the high school con-cert band. Our pianist is Sally Makulinski,

who is the Gifted and Talented Education teacher at Woodmore, and Tracey Nycz, the middle school/high school choir teacher, is the music director and the pit orchestra di-rector for the show.” Fashioning the moves for the consider-able amount of dancing are co-choreogra-phers Linda Fetzer, a Woodville resident, and her niece, Kayla Haase Tom Mahas and Evan Matheney are co-stage managers. Students portraying lead characters are: Autmun Converse as Sarah Brown; Chris Klett as Sky Masterson; Jared Draeger as Nathan Brown; Emily Barringer as Miss Adelaide; Ryan Book as Nicely-Nicely Johnson; Jay Conner as Benny Southstreet and Devin Tofl inski as Big Jule. “It’s truly a community effort,” Busdeker said. “I couldn’t have done it without them. I hope we have big audienc-es.” Save for the cast and production crews during rehearsals, the building is empty. “When we’re done that’s it. I’m really not looking forward to our last Sunday afternoon performance. The performance will be wonderful but the feelings will be mixed,” Busdeker said. Something special is being planned for the fi nal performance, she said. Show dates are March 19-21 at 7:30 p.m. and March 22 at 2 p.m.

Liver transplant fundraiser Assistant Fire Chief David Miller makes pancakes for the Clarence Wilburn Fund-raiser at the Woodville Fire Station, March 8th. Wilburn is a former member of the Harris Elmore Fire/EMS department and was a fi rst responder for the medical team out of Toledo serving after the typhoon in Guam, hurricanes in Florida and the 9-11 World Trade Center attack. The next fundraiser will be held at the Millbury Fire Hall, April 18th. There will be a live auction at 1 p.m. and a chicken dinner from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.. Tickets are $10 per person.

The group will meet at 9 a.m. in the Transportation Technologies Building, at Owens Community College, located at 30335 Oregon Rd. Perrysburg. Members in the local chapter are part of a national organization, Electric Auto Association, based in Aptos, California.

The Northwest Ohio chapter has actively promoted the benefi ts of driv-ing with alternative-fuel vehicles such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). According to chapter president Michael Hall, the group has reached a large number of individuals through participation at local car-shows and a Ride-and-Drive event hosted at Owens last fall. The fi rst event of this year will be the Big Solar Business and Community Solar Workshop Friday, March 27 at the Toledo Glass Pavilion, adjacent to the Toledo Museum of Art in down-town Toledo. A variety of electric ve-hicles will be on display. The public is invited to attend March 21 meeting, and may research additional Electric Auto Association information at www.electricauto.org.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Problems at times may appear over-whelming. Obstacles can feel daunting. Challenges have the potential to seem over-powering. This is why it is so impressive to observe people who take life’s bumps in stride, without losing forward momentum or becoming disheartened. Problems, obstacles, and challenges are a normal part of life. Although every-one has to deal with them, the approach used makes all the difference. You don’t necessarily notice when someone is ad-ept at handling whatever comes their way. This is because problem resolution is an in-tegral part of their regular activities. They quietly go about it without any fanfare. Then there are individuals who con-stantly whine, complain, and make ex-cuses. These people are easy to spot. Their approach is to allow themselves to be con-trolled by obstacles. They are convinced of the lack of any workable solutions. Their strategy is to blame other people and cir-cumstances while maintaining a victim mentality. You can rise above your problems in the same manner oil fl oats on water. Regardless of how deep the water, oil al-ways rises to the top. It’s impossible to make oil sink by adding more water. Alternatively, you can transform your problems into an anchor which drowns you by dragging you to the bottom. In this scenario, you will be suffocated regardless of the shallowness of the water. Your outlook is the key to determining how you deal with the challenges you are faced with. When you view challenges as normal and surmountable, you’ll take them in stride as a common occurrence. However, should you perceive chal-lenges as onerous, devastating, and per-haps even hellish, you will constantly live in fear which severely diminishes your

It’s not the size of the step you take; it’s the direction

ability to successfully fi nd effective solu-tions. Here are some tips for fl oating on top of problems. Start off by recognizing ad-versity is a normal occurrence. Without it, learning and growth is impossible. Adversity-free success is virtually impos-sible. All worthwhile goals require over-coming obstacles. Next, always remember that within you lies the strength, ability, and power to fi nd the appropriate strategies needed to move forward. You can do whatever is necessary by harnessing the willpower to do so. Never make excuses. You are the so-lution. Assigning blame is an anchor. All that matters is identifying what step you need to take to move forward. The size of each step is irrelevant. Your direction is critical. Moving forward takes you to the surface. Digging a hole or moving back-wards is drowning. Recognize that there is a solution for every problem. Study the strategies of oth-er successful people. Regardless of what you may be facing, there are many exam-ples of how other people have dealt with similar situations successfully. Maintain positive self-talk. Constantly tell yourself, “I can,” “I will,” “I’ll fi nd a way,” and “I will be successful.” These are the instructions which program your mind. Your mind listens to what it’s told. Always feed it positive directions. Keep circumstances in perspective.

Most issues are rather insignifi cant when compared to the big picture. In the long run, a majority of seemingly troublesome situa-tions don’t really matter. Several years from now, you most likely will not even remem-ber what you are upset about today. Ignore naysayers. There are always too many people willing to give their opinion as to why you should worry, why you can’t do something, why you will fail, etc. etc. etc. Listening to these perpetually negative people is an anchor. Nothing positive ever results.

Visualize yourself fl oating over your problems. See yourself successfully fi nd-ing solutions. Imagine yourself taking whatever action is required. View yourself continually moving forward, step by step. This approach makes all the difference.

There’s a generational time-bomb tick-ing — and the student debt crisis is the trip wire. Adults under 35 disproportionately bear the brunt of escalating inequality. America’s educated youth are graduat-ing into an economy with stagnant wages and a torn safety net. Federal and state bud-get cuts, meanwhile, have spiked tuition costs and cut public services that aid young workers, such as transportation and afford-able housing. A rumble of legitimate discon-tent is mounting from the 40 million Americans saddled with student debt to-taling $1.16 trillion — a number expected to increase to $2 trillion by 2022. College debt now touches one in fi ve U.S. house-holds and exceeds total credit card indebt-edness. The most frustrated students are block-ing highways over tuition hikes. Others are launching “debt strikes” by refusing to pay the for-profi t schools that bilked them. Many more are defaulting after facing the stressful realization that they can’t fi nd a job that pays enough to repay their debt. Over half of outstanding student loans are presently in deferral, delinquency, or de-fault. The student debt debacle has huge im-

plications for the future. The average college graduate is now almost $30,000 underwater, with some on the hook for over $100,000. This debt keeps young people from starting families, buying houses, and taking risks on new businesses. It also exacerbates the growing problem of wealth inequality and declining social mobility, since it gives debt-free graduates from wealthier families an enormous head start over their peers. Many baby boomers without kids in college don’t fully appreciate how the econ-

omy is tilted against the rising generation — or how much higher education fi nancing has changed from previous generations. Since the 1970s, tuition rates have ris-en over 1,000 percent, while state funding of universities has declined by 40 percent. And the proportion of young Americans with education debt more than quadru-pled, from 5 percent to 22 percent. The powerful student loan industry lobbied for — and got — draconian laws that penalize student debtors more than people holding mortgages, car loans, or credit cards. Servicers can garnish young graduates’ wages and disability payments to get their due. And not even bankruptcy can cancel out these loans. In some states, student debtors who fall into default can lose their professional certifi cations and even their driver’s licens-es. Imagine borrowing money to get a nurs-ing or cosmetology degree, falling behind in your payments, and having your source of livelihood revoked. It doesn’t have to be this way. Other countries have offered free public higher education for decades. In the 30 years after World War II, the government expanded access to debt-free college for millions of Americans. These in-cluded GI Bill recipients, but also millions of men and women without military service

records who attended the great public uni-versities of our land, paying a tuition bill they could afford with only a summer job. Lawmakers should reverse the cycle of state budget cuts in higher education that shift tuition costs onto students and their cash-strapped families. Some states are considering creating “opportunity trust funds,” capitalized by state estate taxes on the richest one percent, to fi nance debt-free public education. The national Strike Debt movement calls on Congress to spend an additional $15 billion a year to make public education free. They could accomplish this by cutting out for-profi t colleges and the parasitical college loan industry, and by simplifying the existing labyrinth of education subsi-dies. The vast majority of college debtors still suffer in isolation, viewing their strug-gle as a personal problem, not a societal is-sue. But this is about to change. When col-lege debt borrowers wake up and fl ex their political muscles, they’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

To Our Rehab Patients Who Have Returned Home

From Your Lutheran Homes Society Family

One of the many lessons we have learned since the Vietnam War is how to separate the soldier from those who send him to war. Too bad we didn’t know that in 1975. Today, we honor our soldiers when they return. We thank them for their ser-vice. That wasn’t the case when the boys came home from Vietnam. Robert Klostermeier, a Navy veteran, remembers: “We were never given that response when we came home. There are still a lot of veterans who resent that. It has even taken a long time for the government to recognize the Vietnam veterans,” he said last week as he prepared his speech for the Vietnam Era Veterans Commemoration Ceremony set for Saturday, March 28 at the Camp Perry Clubhouse in Port Clinton. Some veterans are still dealing with the animosity and neglect they experienced after serving in a war many believe we lost and at a time the anti-war movement was at its peak. A public mistrustful of its political leaders and their motives took out its an-ger and frustration on returning soldiers. Klostermeier recalls, “Once we got out we got tired of being ridiculed and treated poorly by the public, especially if you were a combat veteran. When we were on active duty we had to travel in uniform and, be-lieve me, some people resented us. I saw more than one skirmish in an airport when we were spit on or called baby killers. When we got home we tried to put every-thing behind us. We didn’t think about it.” It may have taken 40 years, but lately there has been a move to rectify this ne-glect. The Camp Perry event is one of three recent events to highlight this change in at-titude. Sara Toris, director of the Ottawa County Veterans Service Commission, said the event will start at 10 a.m. with the Stein Hospice Pinning Ceremony. Amy Skolnick, director of commu-nity outreach for Stein, said veterans will receive a pin from We Honor Veterans,

a program of The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. Skolnick said her organization works with the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky. Many have end of life issues and regrets from their time in the military. The pinning ceremony is one way to show their service is appreciated. Klostermeier will talk at 10:30. He served two tours of duty in 1965-66 as a door gunner on a helicopter. He is a past State Commander of The American Legion and has served as Lucas County Commander and Commander of Post 553 in Adams Township. Following a Fallen Heroes Tribute, Rolling Thunder, Chapter 5, Ohio will hold its Ghost Walk, a reenactment of a soldier going to the Ohio-POW-MIA Wall and see-ing the ghost of a buddy he has lost. Rolling Thunder’s mission is to educate the pub-lic about POW-MIA issues. Its wall con-tains 137 names of Ohio soldiers listed as

missing in action. Paul Cline, Memorial Committee chairman, said, of those, the re-mains of 58 have been returned. The event will also include exhibits from the Northcoast Veterans Museum in Gibsonburg, the Firelands Military Vehicle Group and the Agent Orange Quilt of Tears. The Vietnam War ended 40 years ago this April. It is only recently that we as a society have offered our belated thanks to these men for their service. In 2012, the Ottawa County Veterans Service Commission brought The Moving Wall, a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., to Elmore. And, earlier this year, the Eastwood High School Hall of Fame inducted two servicemen who lost their lives in Vietnam--Leroy Minnix and Kenneth Krukemyer. Jerry Sandwisch, a Vietnam vet who served with the U.S. Army’s 173rd Airborne, nominated the two. Sandwisch said the recognition was long overdue for

the “ultimate sacrifi ce they gave for their country.” He remembers what it was like when he came home. “It wasn’t very receptive. When I left Fort Lewis, Washington, they told us to wear civilian clothes. When we came home, a lot of guys had a lot of trouble with protesters.” Sandwisch also said he went to Vietnam and returned as an individual, not as part of a unit, like today. That meant he was alone to negotiate VA benefi ts and re-integrate himself into society after a year in combat. Today, as it should be, returning veterans have more support. Forty years after the Vietnam War, it’s time to separate the soldier from the war and thank these neglected veterans for their service. The date is March 28. The place is Camp Perry.

the talks drag on and the seasons change, and through their absorbing and reveal-ing conversations, the audience becomes aware both of the deepening understanding between the two wise and decent men and also of the profound frustration which they increasingly feel. Reader’s theatre is a style of theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines, rather they either go through their blocking holding scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together.

March, with its warm, sunny spells and continuing cold, gray, wintry weather, actu-ally brings some plants into blossom. Very early spring bulbs, witch hazel, and hel-lebores will bloom this month as forerun-ners of the gardening season soon to come. Forsythia, with its bright yellow blooms, will also soon give its spring color to our yards and landscapes. While we’re waiting for these spring bloomers, we can visit our local super cen-ters and home and garden shops to see some vibrant displays of spring color. African vi-olets, primrose, orchids, tulips, hyacinths, and many more are in full bloom now. Kalanchoe is also one of the plants you’ll see on display in our local stores. This colorful, tidy, little fl ower is a succu-

Houseplants add a touch of green, make homes healthier

lent related to the cactus. The kalanchoe produces blooms of red, orange, yellow, or violet and it has small, oval-shaped, fl eshy leaves. This is a very easy-care plant and it will keep blooming for up to six to eight months with proper care. When the blooms die off, just cut them back and let it rest for about three to four weeks. When new buds begin to appear on the plant, place it in a sunny spot and water at least once a week. This plant does not like over watering and it is sensitive to cold temperatures. Fertilize every two weeks with an all-purpose plant food. They are so bright and colorful and

easy care, you may want to bring two or three home and enjoy a bit of spring inside until spring comes back to our area outside. With ka lanchoe to brighten your home this month, you may also want to add sev-eral houseplants that can also make your home healthier. Three very easily found air purifi ers are asparagus fern, golden pothos and snake plant. Each of these plants is easy care and a very effective as air purifi ers. • Asparagus fern (Asparagus densi-fl orus) is actually not a fern but is of the plant family “angiosperm.” It absorbs VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which can be released from chemicals in paints, carpets, furniture coatings and even tap water. VOCs have been shown to aggravate allergies, asthma symptoms, and may even increase cancer risk. • Golden Pothos (Epiprenmum aure-um) removes carbon monoxide from the air. It also absorbs benzenes and can reduce the

effects of harmful emissions from furnaces, autos, etc. • Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) vigorously absorbs carbon dioxide through the night hours and actually releases oxy-gen into the air during the daytime. It also absorbs airborne formaldehydes and ben-zenes. Spring will offi cially begin at 6:45 p.m. on March 20. The Farmer’s Almanac is pre-dicting a spring with near normal tempera-tures and precipitation. Whatever the case, spring and milder weather will be most wel-come after the cold and snow of winter.March garden tips: Start your annual seeds indoors to transplant into your beds when the weather allows in May. Toward the end of the month, fertilize shrubs and perennials to give them a healthy start for the summer season to come.If you have garden questions or tips for oth-er gardeners, email [email protected].

Public invitedSt. Charles sets open house for behavioral center

By Tammy WalroPress Staff [email protected]

The community is invited to a open house, blessing and dedication for the new Mercy Health Behavioral Health Institute, located adjacent to St. Charles Hospital in Oregon, Sunday, March 22 from 1-3 p.m. The two-story, $21 million facil-ity will offer a range of inpatient, partial-hospitalization and outpatient mental and behavioral health services in one location – a comprehensive approach to behavior-al health that previously did not exist in the Toledo market, according to Darren R. Jones, Ph.D., Program Excellence Director. Inpatient psychiatric services at St. Charles and Mercy St. Vincent will transi-tion to the new facility, on March 25. “Behavioral health is a critical com-ponent in one’s life and well-being, and needs to be integrated into the full contin-uum of care,” Dr. Donna Markham, presi-dent of the Behavioral Health Institute for Mercy Health, said when plans were an-nounced for the project in February 2014. “Healthcare professionals know the strong connections between mental and physical health – people with behavioral health is-sues are at higher risk of developing chron-ic physical conditions, and people with chronic physical health issues are at higher risk of developing behavioral health condi-tions. Last week, workers were busy complet-ing fi nishing touches, while staff members were undergoing orientation and training to learn the numerous state-of-the-art fea-tures. “This is a very high-tech building,” Dr. Jones said. “Every minute detail right down to the colors and fi nishes on the walls have been meticulously planned to create a ther-apeutic, healing environment while at the same time ensuring the utmost safety for patients and staff.” The private and semi-private patient rooms are bathed in sunlight from windows that are not only expansive but secure, too. “Also, the room lighting is designed to re-fl ect the patient’s circadian rhythms – the lighting goes up and down depending on the time of day It’s extremely elaborate.” Nursing stations are open, with wide counters designed to encourage interaction and communication between staff and pa-

tients. “Previously, staff members were lo-cated behind glass partitions, this is a step-away from that isolating environment,” Dr. Jones said. A Comfort Library stocked with books and comfortable chairs offers a retreat where patients can read and relax. The Sensory Room, decorated with soothing colors and serene murals, features aroma-therapy and tactile materials to provide sensory stimuli designed to help patients relax and develop coping skills. Meeting/therapy rooms offer ample space for group therapy and other activities. “With all this, the real key to what we do here will ultimately be the program-ming,” Dr. Jones said. “There will be a lot of emphasis on group psychotherapy and psy-cho-social interventions in a wide array of disciplines, facilitated by a true treatment team that includes psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, recreational therapists and nurses trained to provide be-havioral health services. “We know from research that when you provide an environment like this – where patients are engaged in programming and receive a lot of interaction with other pa-tients and staff – it tends to take care of a lot

of the behavioral issues that come up,” he said. Mercy’s expanded commitment to be-havioral health care will include placement of behavioral health consultants in primary care practices throughout the Toledo area, with plans for pilot programs to be up and running later this year, Dr. Jones said. Behavioral Access Centers will also be added to the St. Charles and St. Vincent emergency departments. “We are taking an area and totally dedicating it to behavioral health,” said Jeff Dempsey, the St. Charles President and COO. “I don’t know if there’s anybody in Ohio who has made the commitment to behavioral health services that Mercy has,” Dempsey said. “It’s a huge thing that we had the opportunity to do this in Oregon at St. Charles. When the sisters founded this hos-pital back in 1953, behavioral health was an important part of their mission – a dedi-cation that’s lasted more than 60 years.” As for Dr. Jones, he’s anxious to wel-come patients in the Behavioral Health Center. “For the type of work I do –this be-havioral health integration is like being a quarterback in the Super Bowl – it doesn’t get a whole lot better.”

Oak Harbor girls’ basketball’s magical tournament run came to an end Wednesday when they lost, 53-42, to fourth-ranked Richwood North Union (26-1) in the Division III regional semifinals. But that won’t put a damper on a sea-son that saw the team recover from a slow start and finish strong. As a result, Coach Tom Kontak and his 6-foot-1 tall junior standout, Andrea Cecil, have repeated as Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year and Player of the Year. Cecil was the team’s go-to player, the one they could count on in crunch time, Votes were turned in by all 10 area coaches and 10 media members mostly representing The Press and Toledo Sports Network, which has been televising games on Channel 13.1 through producer Mike Jameson of Creative Video Imagery, origi-nally based in East Toledo. Playing on a team with no seniors, Oak Harbor was led by Cecil, who averaged 20 points and 8.2 rebounds. This season, Oak Harbor won its fi rst district title in 25 years. Getting to this point wasn’t easy. The Rockets (17-9) had to rally and defeat New London, 48-40, in the district fi nal, taking the lead for good on a runner by Cecil with 4:30 to play, and that was just two days after Cecil had the game of her life in scoring 35 points to help Oak Harbor ral-ly from a 15-point defi cit to beat Genoa, 66-56. The 48-40 win over Bucyrus in the sec-tional fi nal, which Cecil scored 26, wasn’t an easy one, either. The Rockets (17-8) had been on a mis-sion after losing, 40-37, on a buzzer beater to Wynford in last year’s district fi nal. The Rockets’ resilience helped them recover from a 3-6 start to win 14 of their last 17 games.

“This season has been one of the most incredible journeys I have experienced as a coach,” Kontak said. “The energy and pas-sion the coaches and players put into this season with the climb to a district champi-onship has been special. The road we have traveled has had some bumps but that has not deterred our group. The class and drive these young ladies have displayed through-out was phenomenal.” Joining Cecil on the All-Press fi rst team are four backcourt standouts — Clay junior point guard Haley Hess and junior forward Hannah Hess, Waite senior Ramiah Henry and Genoa guard Haley Pickard. Also getting POY votes were Henry, Pickard, and Hess, but Cecil won over-whelmingly, garnering two-thirds of them in an open ballot. Although 6-1, she can play anywhere on the fl oor and it’s hard to fathom what she may be able to accomplish her senior year if she puts her mind to it.

Voting for COY was closer, with Kontak squeaking out more votes than Clay coach Corey Slovak. Clay fi nished 17-6 overall and 9-5 in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, good enough for third place. The 17 victo-ries are the most regular season wins in 12 years for the girls’ program, and nine wins and fi nishing third is the best Clay has done since joining the TRAC. In addition, Clay’s freshman team won a TRAC championship.

Guess what? No matter how good Oak Harbor girls’ basketball was this year, they are likely to be better next year. Why? It is because the entire team, Division III regional qualifi ers this year, returns next year. There are no seniors on Coach of the Year Tom Kontak’s team this year. Cecil, a junior, was joined in Oak Harbor’s starting lineup by All-Press second team selection Maddy Rathbun (10.2 pts., 6.3 reb.), guards Emma Barney (8.4 pts., 5.1 reb.), and Athena Eli (6.1 pts.), and 5-4 Abby Dornbusch, who runs the point. All of them earned at least honorable mention All-Press or better, and all are underclassmen. Cecil is fi rst team All-Sandusky Bay Conference and Rathbun is second team. All-SBC HM selections from Oak Harbor are Barney, Eli and Dornbusch. Rathbun, a three-sport star, is an un-dersized sophomore post player who has been a thorn in the side of opponents for two years. Despite standing just 5-8 and sometimes giving up three to four inches to her counterparts, she is someone her team-mates can count on down low to keep the

Andrea Cecil & Co. — all of them — will be back next yearopponent’s best post player in check while providing scoring and rebounding. She wants to be the fi rst to let everyone know to watch out for the Rockets next year. “We brought together a community who wasn’t able to do this in a while and that’s amazing,” Rathbun said. “We’re all coming back next year with great experience. It’s im-portant that we take this and grow.” Emma Bergman, a 5-4 guard, and 5-10 forward Allie Kuhn were the primary re-serves, and Ashley Riley, a 5-6 freshman, provided some relief off the bench when Eli was injured and missed much of the early portion of the season. Eli served the role of defensive stopper, often drawing the other team’s best player. Combined with her outside shooting, she proved to be a vital component to her club, one whose value was not fully appreciated until she broke her fi nger midway through the second game of the season and was forced to sit out eight games. During her three years in Oak Harbor, Eli has lettered three times in volleyball, twice in basketball and was part of three re-lay teams that placed at the state track meet last year. The daughter of assistant coach Art Eli, she transferred from Genoa before her freshman year, but remains close to Genoa players.

“It’s been a crazy ride,” said Eli. “Switching over here has been the best de-cision I made in my life. I love my Genoa girls, and I always will. I love the oppor-tunities (Oak Harbor) has given me. I love these girls and I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with anyone else. This season has been unforgettable. After the game, I told the girls to keep their heads up. To be the second team to make it this far in school history and going from a team that was 3-6 to the regional semifi nals is unbelievable.” Every player on the team brought something to the table. Barney was a ver-satile threat who could drive, shoot and rebound, Dornbusch ran the offense and provided clutch outside shooting, hitting the go-ahead three-pointer in the win over Bucyrus. Kuhn gave the team much-needed depth in the post. Bergman served as a ball handler and an outside shooter the team could rely upon and Riley’s three-point shooting helped the team spread the fl oor. Wednesday in the Rockets’ district fi -nal at Lexington, a back-and-forth game featured two ties and eight lead changes. Oak Harbor held a 32-31 lead after Rathbun scored inside off a pass from Bergman with 2:04 remaining in the third quarter, but the Wildcats closed the quarter on a 6-2 run to take a 37-34 lead and slowly pulled away.Oak Harbor junior Andrea Cecil.

Over the last three years, Cardinal Stritch has been able to hold its own with the best in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, but they were unable to estab-lish themselves as the best. That is quickly changing. The Cardinals’ 66-60 upset victory over fi fth-ranked and previously-unde-feated Gibsonburg in a Division IV district semifi nal Tuesday was historic, one Stritch players and fans will remember for the rest of their lives. Stritch, which improved to 18-6 with the win, shot an incredible 65.4 percent from the fi eld, connecting on 17-of-26 shots, and if they won a Division IV district title Friday, it would be its fi rst since 1989. Senior forward Austin Adams (21.7 pts., 10.7 reb.) led the way, scoring 20 of his team-high 30 points in the fi rst half. But this victory and the 46-39 win over New Riegel for the sectional title is only part of the story. Getting to this point has come with setbacks, but the Cardinals re-sponded. The team faced two major points of adversity this season — on Dec. 26 after losing to Maumee, 39-26; and on Feb. 10 after they lost, 55-46, to Toledo Christian. The loss to the Panthers was so unset-tling to the coaching staff that they had the team practice in uniform at their home gym following the game. Following the loss, Stritch won six of its next seven games. “After Maumee, I knew this was seri-ous and that this could be a great team,” said 6-1 senior guard Chris Blazevich, whose older brother, Mike, plays football at the University of Toledo. “After that game, we got together and talked and we’ve worked on those things ever since. We’re a completely different team — we have the confi dence to win.” The loss to Toledo Christian was the Cardinals’ third in fi ve games and left them at 12-6. The fi rst of those three defeats came to Gibsonburg, 63-54, a defeat that virtually knocked Stritch out of the race for the league title, and the other was against Ottawa Hills, 57-42.

Just like that — it’s Stritch making noise in tournament

Again, the Cardinals responded, winning four straight, including a 52-46 win over Swanton, co-champions of the Northwest Ohio Athletic League. Stritch rallied from a 10-point defi cit at halftime to defeat the Bulldogs on Senior Night. “We know we were better than that and have a lot more potential,” Adams

said. “It was more of a wake-up call. And we responded well. The coaches have told us that we have to believe that we can play with anybody. Throughout the season, we’ve shown signs of it and we are starting to show it at the right time.” If the Cardinals defeated Ottawa Hills on Friday, they’ll play Columbus Grove or

Delphos St. John’s on Tuesday at Bowling Green State University at 8 p.m. In the win over Gibsonburg, the Cardinals led 16-11 after the fi rst quarter and 32-19 at the half. Adams, who stands 6-6, helped get the ball to the middle of the fl oor and worked to beat the Golden Bears’ press as Stritch consistently got easy baskets. Gibsonburg’s zone was no match for Adams, who sliced through it like a knife through butter. When the Cardinals weren’t breaking the press, they held the ball on the perimeter and worked the clock before fi nding ways to move the ball around and get good looks at the basket. Meanwhile, Gibsonburg’s shot selection was poor, often taking contested shots that bounced off the rim. Just as important as Adams’ perfor-mance was the play of Blazevich, who made his fi rst four 3-pointers and scored 13 points, connecting on the fi rst at the 4:30 mark of the second quarter to give his team a 25-15 lead, and the last at the 4:37 mark of the third quarter that helped the Cardinals push the advantage to 40-21 for their big-gest lead of the game. As you would expect, Gibsonburg, behind the play of point guard Jordan Kreglow, who scored 23 of his game-high 32 points in the fi nal quarter, embarked on an incredible rally, cutting the 19-point defi cit at 42-23 late in the third to four at 56-52 with two minutes to play, but Stritch was able to close it out at the foul line. “Our mindset was we needed to make it a half court game,” said Stritch coach Jamie Kachmarik, who has taken the team to new heights in his fi rst year. “They press and trap, so we played with our guys going 5-on-7 or 5-on-8 in practice (to prepare). We got Austin the ball in the middle of the fl oor, and they executed it to a T.” Needless to say, Kachmarik was pleased with the performance of Adams, but it was his best player’s defense that stood out. “I’m more proud of what he did defen-sively,” Kachmarik said. “He was guarding Kreglow until the fi ve-minute mark of the fourth quarter. Kreglow had fi ve points or so until Austin stopped guarding him af-ter picking up his fourth foul and you saw what happened after that.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Useful Fictions

The great American philosopher and psychologist

William James was fond of saying that when the

outcome of some endeavor was in question, we

would do well to believe what is in our best interest to

believe. For example, if we are in a social situation

where we are wondering whether someone is a friend

or a foe, we are much better off assuming that they

are a friend, because then we are likely to act in a

friendly way toward them, and thus our belief that this

person is a friend becomes a self- fulfilling prophecy.

Likewise if we are attempting some difficult task, it

will be better to believe that we can do it, and to see

the difficulty as a stimulating challenge rather than an

obstacle which is destined to defeat us. As Henry

Ford remarked, "Whether you think you can or think

you can't, either way you are right." Of course there

are limits to positive thinking. Obviously we can't

"think" money into our bank accounts or shed pounds

just by thinking that we are thin; but, in many areas of

life, positive beliefs have a very powerful influence.

So, we should banish all of our negative thoughts,

and start thinking and believing only things that work

for us. I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. -

Laurie Campos Insurance is teaming up with a foundation Campos believes in.

In her own words, she has “watched an amazing community come together in love and support. The VanHersett family is pay-ing it forward.”

The Cody VanHersett Hockey Scholar-ship Fund was founded in memory of Clay High School hockey player Cody VanHersett. VanHersett, then a sophomore varsity player, passed away unexpectedly in January 2012 as the result of an automo-bile accident.

“Cody has forever impacted the lives of all who knew him with his uncondi-tional kindness, integrity, and zest for life. Through this foundation, the VanHersett family will honor Cody’s belief of living life to the fullest; without regret or reserva-tion,” a press release states.

“The nonprofi t Cody VanHersett Hoc-key Scholarship Fund has been designed to aid students with athletic and academic dreams and aspirations that would other-wise not be possible without fi nancial as-sistance. The foundation has given a total of $20,130.85 back to our community in just three short years, helping our children with college and the expenses of high school sports.”

Campos said the fund can help with the cost of Clay hockey, but not for travel hockey. It is for Clay students, with most of the funds going toward college schol-arships. Last year, 10 students received $1,000 each and one year it paid for a stu-dent to play hockey at Clay. It typically costs the athletic department and parents who contribute through pay-to-play about $1,500 a year per student for ice time.

Laurie Campos Insurance is offering a $1 donation to the foundation for every quote. To contribute or help efforts, contact Michelle at [email protected]

This particular Saturday night wasn’t anything special for Clay sophomore wres-tler Nick Henneman. There weren’t any crazy celebrations or parties to go to.

“I got home and sat on the couch and watched TV,” Henneman said.

What transpired several hours earlier still kind of had Henneman’s adrenaline on overdrive. He placed third at the Division I district tournament at Cleveland State University, which qualifi ed him to compete in the state tournament in Columbus.

“I didn’t get much sleep,” Henneman said. “I fell asleep around 12. It was hard to fall asleep.”

Henneman’s (39-10) third-place fi nish in the 113-pound weight division led him to be paired up against senior C.J. Campbell (23-6) of Hilliard Bradley in the fi rst round in Columbus. Henneman said he was taking a positive attitude into the three-day event at the Schottenstein Center. He started Thursday with a 5-0 victory over Campbell and Henneman was well on his way.

“My goal is just to place,” he said. “I want to be the fi rst person in my family to place. I’ve pretty much proved to people that I can do it. I just go out and wrestle my match and do what I gotta do.”

Henneman is the fi rst wrestler in his family to qualify to the state tournament. Nick’s older brothers, Brian, 20, and Aaron, 18, both wrestled for current Clay coach Ralph Cubberly. Neither Brian nor Aaron, who graduated last year, were able to get to Columbus.

“They both lost their (state-qualifying) matches to go,” Cubberly said. “That family has had bad luck. Nick’s goal was to be the fi rst one to qualify. Brian and Aaron were great kids, and I felt bad when they didn’t make it. I was really pushing for Nick to break that drought in the family.”

Cubberly said he’s used Brian and Aaron to motivate Nick to get to the state tournament.

“I told him, ‘you should be wrestling for someone else,’ ” the coach said. “You have two brothers who put their lives into this sport. Wrestle for them. Wrestle for your brothers.”

While Nick said it’s “really cool” to be the fi rst Henneman to compete at state, he acknowledged all the hard work he’s put

into getting there.“Eventually,” he said, “being a cham-

pion is the main goal of every wrestler. I put in the work in the offseason. I’ve been working to be a champion.”

Henneman said several people contrib-uted to his success this season.

“I worked with Jerome Robinson, one of my East Toledo coaches’ sons who wrestled in college, and with coach (Mark) Beach and coach Cubberly over the summer,” he said. “I lifted weights all summer with Mike Burgess. I’ve been weight training with him for about a year and a half now, and it’s made a big difference. I’ve been working for this moment all year, and it’s paying off.”

One major breakthrough for Henneman came at the Three Rivers Athletic Conference tournament, where he decisioned Central Catholic junior and good friend Josh Venia in the championship match. Venia, who took third in the state (D-II) last year at 106 pounds, was 5-0 all-time against Henneman heading into their fi nals match.

“It boosted my confi dence a lot, know-ing I beat a really good kid,” Henneman said. “I just went in with a good mindset, thinking I could beat him. My coaches were telling me that he wasn’t better than me, that I could beat him, and I believed them. I went in thinking that I wasn’t going to lose and I was going to win the TRAC.”

Henneman won a sectional title the following weekend and then placed third last Saturday at the district tournament. Neither one of his brothers, however, have been around to watch his trek to Columbus.

“They’re both in the Army,” Nick said. “Brian is stationed in Oklahoma, where he lives with his wife, and Aaron lives in Colorado. My dad (Brian Sr.) was really happy I made it. It was good to see that he was proud. Brian called me Saturday night to tell me congratulations and tell me it was cool. Aaron called me a couple weeks ago and told me that if I got to state, I would be the best Henneman.”

Asked if he thinks he is the best

Henneman, Nick chuckled and said, “I al-ways thought I was.”

All three brothers have different wres-tling styles.

“Aaron was very technical, but he wasn’t physical at all,” Nick said. “Brian was more physical, and I’m more a combi-nation of that, physical and technical. It’s just how it worked out. The coaches teach you what you gotta do. Coach Cub is re-ally good with the technique part of it. The physicality, I think that’s something you just gotta have.”

Cubberly said the only thing that’s sur-prised him about Henneman this season has been his mental toughness.

“He’s a hard worker and a good wres-tler,” Cubberly said. “He’s starting to ma-ture and become more mentally tough. That’s boded well for him in his matches, especially in all his tough matches. He’s got a desire to win and it’s really evident when he gets in a competitive match.”

Former Clay and Owens Community College soccer standouts Abby Groll, Megan Soncrant and Kendyl Christian will continue their collegiate careers at Lourdes University, which will be playing its first year of soccer in the fall.

“Abby brings a level of speed and technical ability to our team that will provide us with depth in the midfield,” said Lourdes coach Jackie Donovan via LourdesAthletics.com.

The three depart Owens after guid-ing the Express to back-to-back Region XII tournament championships and NJCAA Division I National Tournament appear-ances. The team was 31-7-4 in their two

Clay’s Groll, Christian, Soncrant staying college teammatesseasons and they will each have two years of eligibility remaining at Lourdes.

A sophomore midfielder at Owens, Abby Groll scored three career goals, including one match-winner, and added three assists during her career. She helped the Owens women’s soccer team earn the Lea Plarski Sportsmanship Award at the national tournament as a freshman, as well.

At Clay, Groll was an All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference second team selection as a senior after garnering honorable men-tion All-TRAC accolades during her junior season. She helped the Eagles win the 2012 TRAC and sectional championships and as the team’s Most Valuable Player as a senior as well. Groll was a two-time TRAC All-Academic Team selection.

Kendyl Christian, at Owens, scored 18 goals and added six assists during her two-

year stay. She started 37 of 40 matches for the Express as a forward.

Christian ranked second on the Express with eight goals during the 2014 campaign and was third on the team with 18 points while tallying a pair of match-winning goals. During her freshman season in 2013, Christian scored 10 goals, third most on the squad, and added four assists for 24 total points. She had two match-winners as a rookie as well.

At Clay, Christian was a first team All-TRAC selection as a senior after earn-ing second team accolades as a junior. She also garnered a pair of second team all-district accolades and was her team’s Most Valuable Player in both 2011 and 2012. She scored 23 goals and added 20 assists during her prep career.

Megan Soncrant was primarily a mid-

fi elder/defender during her time at Owens, but she also saw time as a backup goal-keeper. She appeared in 42 matches during her two-year career at Owens. She had a ca-reer high fi ve shot attempts in the Express’ victory over Lorain County Community College in 2013. Soncrant also appeared in goal in four matches as a freshman while serving as the team’s backup goalkeeper. She did not surrender a goal during her time in net, posting a 2-0 record.

Prior to Owens, Soncrant also played in role in helping lead the Clay Eagles to a pair of TRAC titles. She earned honorable mention All-TRAC accolades in 2012 and was also the recipient of the team’s Coach’s Award.

Another Owens sophomore, Shelby Antonacci (Lake), signed with NCAA Division II Academy of Art University.
