Permit required Anyone planning to discharge, dredge, or use fill material in a way that results in the placement of fill into waters of the state must first obtain a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which must be certified with a Water Quality Certification from the Ohio EPA. Discharges from the project have a potential to affect the quality of streams and wetlands in the following watersheds: Lower Maumee and OttawaStony, Sandusky, Tuscarawas, Walhonding, Mohican, Huron-Vermillion, and CedarPortage. Although the project may result in a change from current water quality conditions, the changes cannot violate Ohio’s water quality standards that protect human health and the environment, according to Lee. Ohio EPA considered technical, economic, social and environmental aspects of the project before deciding to issue the certification. The agency reviewed the project to ensure it complies with Ohio’s water quality standards. Ohio EPA also held an information session and public hearing in Fremont last September and received and reviewed Continued on page 2

Dog shooting indictment recommended By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com

By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency last week issued a Water Quality Certification for the Kinder Morgan Utopia gas pipeline. The 12-inch diameter pipeline will be constructed through a 213 mile area, and stretch from Harrison County to Fulton County. It will go through the counties of Wood, Lucas, Sandusky, Harrison, Carroll, Tuscarawas, Stark, Wayne, Ashland, Richland, Huron and Seneca. The proposed $500 million project will include a 100-foot wide construction corridor, consisting of a 50-foot wide permanent right-of-way and a 50-foot wide temporary work space. Pipeline impacts within the right-of-way are temporary and will be restored onsite to pre-construction conditions. Impacts that result in a conversion of wetland from forested to non-forested will require conversion mitigation as determined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “This certification generally deals with construction projects where streams and watersheds could potentially be affected,” James Lee, of the Ohio EPA, told The Press last Wednesday. “The actual permit would be issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But as part of that permitting process, the applicant needs to secure a Water Quality Certification from the Ohio EPA.” As the pipeline makes its way across several counties, fill material will end up in the streams, he said.

Gardner, Arndt propose bill

State funds for school tech, security needed By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A state program to fund the construction and renovation of school buildings will be expanded to assist more districts with other improvements if a bill sponsored by two area legislators becomes law. Senator Randy Gardner (R-Bowling Green) and Representative Steve Arndt (R-Port Clinton) say their bill will allow school districts that haven’t funded projects through the Ohio School Facilities Commission to qualify for funding for technology and security upgrades. The senator’s office said he introduced a bill Tuesday. Rep. Arndt said Thursday he will file a companion bill in his chamber.

The state, in the late 1990s, began allocating billions of dollars to a construction and renovation program, forming the OSFC to establish a state-wide ranking of school districts that included districts’ property valuations and other criteria to determine how much state funding would go to districts and how much of a local share would be required. Low-ranked districts, Rep. Arndt said, have waited many years for funds representing a small percentage of a project’s total cost. “We are concerned that some school districts in Ohio, including many in our region of Ohio, will never consider the current facilities funding program to be the right choice for them,” he said “This new bill gives them an opportunity to qualify

Ottawa County prosecutor James VanEerten last week said he expected a complaint to be filed within days against a Carroll Township man for the fatal shooting of a neighbor’s dog. A charge against Paul McKee will be filed in Ottawa County Municipal Court, VanEerten said. A county grand jury has recommended one misdemeanor charge of an offense relating to domestic animals. VanEerten said the jury heard testimony from several witnesses and was provided with background case law for felony and misdemeanor charges in such cases. In particular, the jury was informed about a statute known as “Goddard’s Law,” which makes certain acts involving companion animals a fifth degree felony. The shooting occurred in December. Jody Hatfield, township police chief, said at the time his office was contacted Dec. 24 by a Benton-Carroll Road family that a black Labrador was missing and their neighbor acted suspiciously when they asked him about the dog. Chief Hatfield said police determined the dog named Savage strayed from its home and went to a house about one-half mile away where it was shot twice by the neighbor who said he feared it was aggressive. The man then hid the dog’s body in a 55-gallon barrel. Police were able to contact the man on Dec. 26 and retrieve the dog’s body and return it to its owners. When asked why he had placed it in the barrel, the man told police he didn’t want to “make enemies,” the chief said. The grand jury also indicted another man for offenses stemming from a high speed chase. Jeremiah J. Mincer, who is being held in the county detention facility, faces a 17-count indictment. Charges include aggravated vehicular assault, attempted aggravated vehicular assault, felonious assault, failure to comply. He also faces misdemeanor charges of assault and operating a vehicle while impaired. A Carroll Township officer was injured when Mincer’s vehicle struck the police cruiser.

State funds for school tech, security needed Continued from front page sooner for needs that can really help students.” Under the bill, a second option would be available for districts, allowing them to opt out of the traditional new building and renovation program – the Classroom Facilities Assistance Program – and select a new program for funding technological needs or security upgrades. The intent, says Sen. Gardner, is to provide quicker funding for schools and not require them to provide a high percentage share of local funding to be eligible. If passed, the bill would: • Require the OSFC to establish the program, including eligibility for districts

Study Ohio stands to benefit from $237.3 million in economic impacts from the Utopia pipeline during the first five years, according to a study by Kent State University associate professor of Economics, Dr. Shawn M. Rohlin. The study was commissioned by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, Inc. Project construction is expected to start early this year, and continue through the middle of 2018. The project will produce direct and indirect short-term and long-term positive benefits to Ohio’s business community and support a large workforce and high volume of economic activity in communities along the pipeline route, while meeting increased demand for energy originating from Ohio’s Utica Shale Region to help the United States become more energy independent. The Utopia Pipeline Project will generate $4.9 million in tax revenues, create 2,132 direct and indirect jobs in Ohio, contribute $144.9 million to Ohio’s gross state product and provide $87.5 million “uplift” to the Ohio economy through additional income and spending. The pipeline will facilitate the movement of petroleum products ethane and ethane-propane mixtures to Windsor, Ontario. Initially, the Utopia pipeline will be able to hold 50,000 barrels per day with the ability to expand capacity to 75,000 barrels per day with the building of additional pump stations. The majority of employment will consist of temporary construction workers. It is expected that the pipeline will require approximately 750 workers at any given time and the entire project will require about 1,000 workers, with at least 50 percent from the local labor force. The pipeline project will generate approximately $4.9 million in tax revenue with $4.0 million coming from income taxes from construction workers and $724,500 coming from state sales taxes from out-ofstate worker ending.

that haven’t received funds under the current program. • Require local school boards to have

an affirmative vote of at least four members to participate in the program. Arndt and Gardner said their proposal wouldn’t impact the facilities assistance program but financial assistance to districts would be issued quicker than under the current program. Funding amounts and year of eligibility for school systems in the construction program would not be altered. In September 2012, the OSFC was merged with the State Architect’s Office to form the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. The OSFC continues to work within the new consolidated agency and focuses on planning issues related to K-12 construction.

Innovator, Lloyd Dierker to be nominated By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Whether it meant bringing a semi-professional women’s basketball team to glory ahead of its time, or starting youth sports programs, or serving school activities, or even as a athlete, 86-year-old Lloyd Dierker has always been an innovator. That might be one of the reasons Dierker has been selected to Eastwood’s Eagle Way Hall of Fame. He will be honored along with U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Sarah Marie Deal Burrow, athlete Jodi (Juergens) Evans, and teacher/coaches Terry McKibben and Jerry Rutherford. The banquet will be Saturday, Feb. 25 at Riverview Banquet Hall (American Legion Post 183 building) in Pemberville. First and foremost were his years supporting local teams. “You could always find Lloyd at the basketball games sitting in the front row of the bleachers at the high school giving advice to the players,” says a biography released by the hall of fame committee. Dierker graduated from Troy-Luckey High School in 1950. While in high school, he played basketball for Coach Doyce “Frenchy” Filiere his freshman through senior years. He also played baseball all four years in high school. During the summer months as a youth, he played baseball on the Pemberville School diamond, where he was the pitcher and third baseman. Dierker was drafted out of high school by the New York Yankees as a pitcher and went to training camp, returning home with a contract and schedule, but never got to play. The reason — when he got home there was a letter from the U.S. Government that he was drafted into the U.S. Army. He served in Korea from 1951-53 and was assigned to the Air Force as an engineer. When he returned home from the service in 1953, he went to work for Bowling Green Nash Rambler, which later became a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. He worked there for 25 years as a mechanic, but his involvement in athletics never ended. That’s when his innovation began. Dierker coached semi-pro women’s basketball for BG Athletics from 1956-61, teaching the ladies the full court boys rules, which was rare then. Lloyd’s two sisters, Evelyn Heinman and Eloise Dierker, along with his wife Ruth played on this team. Their team won an Ohio state championship and they qualified and played in the National Women’s Tournament in St. Joe, Missouri. They drove all night to get there for the games, while the other teams flew. In 1966, he helped create the Webster Little League baseball program and was instrumental in helping to construct the

Lloyd Dierker design of the two baseball fields and the bleachers at Webster Elementary School in Scotch Ridge. The first concession stand at the Webster baseball field was the “old concession stand” from the Pemberville Legion diamond. He coached multiple youth teams at Webster. In 1971, Coach Filiere approached Lloyd about teaching basketball fundamen-

tals to the younger boys, so they came up with the fifth and sixth grade boys basketball program at Eastwood. In 1978, he was employed by the Eastwood School District at the Webster School as a custodian and continued for 24 years, retiring in 2003. Also in 1978, Lloyd began driving the marching band van to the football games, home and away and also to all the parades, which was many. “He was a great band booster and was known to all as the ‘Band Man Van’ and the ‘Governor,’ claims the hall biography. Each rear, Lloyd took one week off his vacation to go to band camp in August and he helped out there for 23 years. Because of complications in his feet from diabetes, “he was pried from the driver’s seat” in 2004, says his bio. In the summer of 1980, Lloyd started to help coach the Luckey women’s softball teams and he continued that for about three years. In 1959, he married Ruth Pfouts and together they had five children, Mike, Teresa, Gary, Jeff and Betsy. They also have nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Social hour for the banquet starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 and are on sale at the Pemberville Library and Eastwood High School main office, as well as from any Eastwood hall of Fame board member. To join the alumni association, pay a one-time lifetime dues of $20 for Eastwood alumni and $50 for non-Eastwood alumni.

Rezoning request goes before commission By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A request to rezone two acres in Troy Township from an A-1 agricultural classification to C-1 neighborhood commercial is on the Feb. 7 meeting agenda of the Wood County Planning Commission. The meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. Summit Properties Realty Fund 1, LLC, of Hot Springs, Arkansas, submitted the request and has indicated it intends to develop the property for retail/commercial use. The parcel is located in the unincorporated area of Stony Ridge, between State Route 163 and Stony Ridge Road. According to an analysis by the planning commission staff, land to the north and west is zoned agricultural and land to the east and south is zoned for residential use and current usage is a mix of residential and commercial. Sanitary sewer service is available to the parcel but not public water. The applicant has indicated it intends to split the parcel if the zoning change is approved.

traffic and entering and exiting the parcel. Visibility is also a concern. “The parcel is located near a naturally occurring high spot on Route 20,” the analysis says. “Said knoll – high spot makes visibility difficult. An additional concern…is in regard to traffic flow.” The Ohio Department of Transportation has also indicated another lane may be added to Route 20 that would run past the parcel. The staff of the commission is recommending the request be denied or that the commission table the request until the applicant provides more information about ingress and egress issues. If the commission does approve the request, it would only be a non-binding recommendation to Troy Township. The township’s board of trustees has authority to rezone the property. In other business, the commission will hear a recommendation to approve a new land-use plan for in county. The new document, which has been a year or so in the making, will serve as a guideline for the future development of unincorporated land in the county.

Pet Match-Up The Humane Society of Ottawa County is offering greatly reduced adoption fees during the Valentine Day Match-Up. Through Feb. 14, adoption fees for cats will range from $15-$45 and dog adoption fees will range from $30-$90. The lower fees, which are 25 percent of the usual fees, are designed to encourage people to adopt animals that have been at the shelter for three years or more. Animals that have been at the shelter for one-three years are available for adoption at half the usual fee, and for those animals at the shelter for one year or less, the adoption fee is 75 percent of the usual cost. Currently, there are 64 cats and 15 dogs at the shelter. All dogs and cats are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. All dogs are heartworm tested, and on heartworm preventative treatment. The promotion is possible thanks to a group of six sponsors who are contributing up to $5,000 to pay the matching adoption fees, with the goal of finding a home for every animal and clear our shelter. Potential adopters must complete an application and be approved by the Humane Society of Ottawa County before adopting an animal. The Humane Society of Ottawa County is located at 2424 E. Sand Rd., Port Clinton. The shelter is open Tuesday-Saturday noon-5 p.m. Call at 419-734-5191 for info. See animals that are up for adoption on the society’s Facebook page and on Adopt-aPet.com.

Train warning lights installed at 3 intersections By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

“

Northwood has installed warning lights at three intersections that will notify motorists that trains are passing railroad crossings to give them the opportunity to select an alternate route and reduce traffic congestion. “The last camera was installed. So we are closer to operating them,” said City Administrator Bob Anderson. The lights have been installed at the intersections of Wales and East Broadway, Wales and Drouillard heading into Walbridge, and at Wales and Woodville, he said. Police Chief Thomas Cairl has been working on the project since October 2015, said Anderson. Cairl said the blue warning lights are set atop of poles at the intersections. “There are strobes on the top of the poles,” said Cairl. “It’s very similar to what Oregon has done.”

...head back the

“

other way, knowing it’s blocked...

Oregon has had blue warning lights at the intersections of Pickle Road/Wheeling Street, Pickle Road/Woodville Road, and at Otter Creek Road and Corduroy Road. Yellow signs next to the lights state that trains are blocking the road when the blue lights are flashing. “Even though we redesigned Wales, we still have that one set of railroad tracks that the railroad likes to block,” said Cairl. “And they block them for a period of time. It’s a big inconvenience. If you drive from

Woodville Road onto Wales and all the way up over two sets of overpasses, motorists are often stopped by a train. Then you have trucks and school buses that can’t turn around. So there is a pole at East Broadway and Wales, a pole at the new turn at Wales and Drouillard, and one at Woodville Road as you turn onto Wales,” said Cairl. Wireless system The lights are linked to a wireless system on the police department’s communications tower. “At the railroad tracks, there is a bullet camera on top of a pole that will sense the train blocking the road,” he said. The tower will then send an indicator to turn on the lights at all three locations. “The strobe light on top of the poles will turn on so you can see the lights from 365 degrees around. In Oregon, motorists have to actually be facing the lights to see them,” he said. “I’m hoping that the light on East Broadway and Wales can be seen all the way down at Andrus Road before the trucks

and buses make the turn. That’s a long section. If they’re coming from Andrus or Wales, hopefully they’ll be able to see the light because it’s high enough. They can hopefully turn around and head back the other way, knowing it’s blocked already. A lot of people get frustrated by it. We get a lot of calls.” Cairl said he had initially hoped that the city could install the lights on poles that had already been installed by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), but the request had been denied by ODOT. “They didn’t want it to take away from their intersection design,” said Cairl. The lights are solar powered, he added, to reduce electrical costs by Toledo Edison. Like Oregon, signs will inform motorists that Wales Road is blocked when the lights are flashing. “We’re getting close to getting them operational. It’s not functional yet. Everything has to be synced together. But everything is ready on the tower, and all the devices have been installed at each location.

Attorney General warns public about latest phone scam By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com

you need help or if you suspect a scam, contact the attorney general’s office.” In reports to his office, consumers generally say the calls appeared to come from a local phone number, such as a number showing a 614 (Columbus) or 330 (Akron) area code. Some consumers said the callers claimed they had won a vacation or cruise or claimed to work for an extended warranty company. “We received several reports on Friday, and we issued an alert on Monday,” Kate Hanson, a public information officer with DeWine’s office, told The Press last week. “Since then, we’ve received additional reports.”

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine last week warned the public to be more vigilant about suspicious phone calls due to the latest phone scam. Several people across the state have filed complaints with DeWine’s office since Friday. The scam involves the caller asking “Can you hear me?” The caller tries to trick consumers into responding “Yes,” and using their response to place unauthorized charges on their phone or utility bills. “Any time people receive a call that’s suspicious, we encourage them to be very careful and not to respond to the call,” said DeWine. “When in doubt, just hang up. If

Unauthorized charges So far, there have been no reports from Ohioans about unauthorized charges on a

credit card, cell phone or utility bills, she added. “We’re trying to warn people about this now and to also just encourage people to check their statements. The idea is that when you say `Yes’ to the question `Can you hear me?’ it is a way for the caller to get authorization from the consumer, and then use that to place charges on the consumer’s account.” One consumer who complained about the “Can you hear me?” scam said the caller had asked for debit and credit card information, she said. “So we just warn people not to respond to potential scam callers in any way, and certainly don’t provide any personal information. Just hang up,” she said. Tips suggested by the attorney general’s office to avoid potential phone scams include:

• Don’t respond to suspicious calls. Let the calls go to voicemail, or hang up if a call seems questionable in any way, especially if it’s an automated telemarketing call (or robocall), which is used commonly in scams; • Don’t always trust caller ID. Even when calls appear to come from an Ohio phone number, the numbers could be spoofed or the calls could be made over the Internet, meaning the caller could be located somewhere else entirely; • Check your phone bill and your credit card statements regularly. If you find suspicious charges, immediately report them to your provider. Consumers who suspect a scam or who want to help resolve a consumer problem should contact the attorney general’s office at www.OhioProtects.org or 800-282-0515.

Walbridge to recover payments By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko last week said he remains confident in the village’s fiscal operations despite a state audit revealing payroll overpayments in 2014 of about $7,200 to five employees. “The village had 27 pay periods for the year 2014 which is unusual as a normal year has 26 pay periods,” the mayor said. “The fiscal officer did not adjust the wages of salary employees to accurately reflect this difference, resulting in those employees receiving a total of one extra pay period over that year.” An audit conducted last year uncovered the mistake. Receiving overpayments were: • Patricia Crawford - $1,786 • Kenneth Frost - $2,416 • Jeffery Goetz - $1,112 • Pamela Klotz - $303 • Matthew Simon - $1,584 As of last week, Crawford and Klotz had repaid and the mayor said the village was working with the other three to establish repayment plans. Frost had been the village’s police chief and part-time administrator and resigned last year. Simon and Goetz were police officers and are also not working in the village. The audit also found errors with some of the village’s financial statements but not resulting in missing funds: • An Ohio Public Works Commission grant of $207,165 and $203,196 in 2015 and 2014 respectively wasn’t recorded on financial statements. Consequently there was an understatement of revenues in the capital outlay funds. • Debt proceed receipts and capital outlay payments totaling $31,127 were not posted in the capital projects fund when a new truck was purchased and financed in 2015. • Principal retirement payments were posted in 2014 as capital outlay expenditures in the amount of $45,416 in the capital projects fund. • Other retirement and interest and fiscal charges of $29,886 were posted as general government and other expenditures in 2014 in the general fund. “The village lacked a policy regarding financial review which contributed to these posting errors, occurring without detection,” the audit says. “Adjusting entries were posted to the financial statements and the village’s financial records to correct these errors.”

Huston’s inspirational story a lesson for youth By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Thirty-three years ago, Rob Huston was a young man without a care in the world. An Oak Harbor High School graduate, Huston was setting out on a new path in life when he and some friends got into a car accident on New Year’s Eve in 1983. Huston, who was hurt in the accident and left there, suffered even greater injuries when his automobile was hit by a truck, leaving him with permanent damage to his brain and spinal cord. For the next 10 years, Huston worked to regain his motor skills, learning how to eat, walk and communicate again. Today, Huston, 51, lives at the Luther Home of Mercy in Williston, and despite his physical limitations, he’s maintained enthusiasm, his sense of humor, his appreciation for life and the desire to engage with others — something that’s evident when you see him in person. To residents of yesteryear, Huston is known for winning back-to-back Division II state championships at 98 pounds in 1981-82 for Oak Harbor. Joe Bergman, who coached the Rockets high school and junior high wrestling teams for 20 years from 1983-2002, got to know Huston when he wrestled for the Rockets and now works as a driver for LHM, which enables the two men to maintain a friendship. Huston communicates with a computer-like device that speaks based on the words he types. “He’s able to walk with a walker, and he’s gotten a lot better,” said Bergman, who credits a number of people who work for LHM, namely Denese Jones and Megan O’Brien (coordinators), Cheryl Briggle and John Matuszynski (transportation) and Pastor Don Wutotich (CEO), for helping Huston throughout the years. “He keeps going, ahead or behind, and when he makes a mistake, he keeps moving forward to get by it,” Bergman said. Bergman, who has gained an appreciation for Huston’s plight, decided to

Rob Huston holds a photo of himself during his state championship season. (Press photo by Harold Hamilton/ HEHphotos.smugmug.com) have the former state champ pay a visit to the Genoa wrestling team to share his story. Bergman, who is the father of Bob Bergman, now in his sixth year as the coach of the team, currently works as an assistant for the Comets, and helped give the wrestlers and coaches an overview of Huston’s life. The coaching staff wanted the athletes to see how a grueling sport like wrestling, which forces people to improvise in difficult and compromised situations, can be something of a microcosm for the struggles people face in life, especially Huston. “Wrestling helped him persevere through the immense challenges he’s dealt with. He’s kept moving forward in spite of the adversity, and it’s inspirational to see

him fighting,” said Bob Bergman. “Life is guaranteed to no one. It’s a life lesson. It’s moving to see him come in and give back. Making weight seems pretty trivial; getting good grades seems pretty trivial.” Huston’s presence there had nothing to do with wrestling. He was there to give the teenage wrestlers an appreciation for just how fragile life can be and how important it is to make good decisions and be safe. “My father has been telling me about Rob ever since he’s worked at Luther Home of Mercy,” said Bob Bergman, who was clearly moved by Huston’s presence. “I think (Huston) gave the guys a renewed sense of gratitude for life. (Losing a wrestling match) doesn’t seem so bad when you see what you’re blessed with. We were taken aback by his jovial spirit and how much he’s engaged with people. It’s refreshing to see.” Huston’s jovial spirit was on display when he tried to pull wrestling moves on people while receiving a hug, or when he revealed an Oak Harbor t-shirt that he was wearing underneath his jacket something that was met with a good-natured “boo,” which Huston responded to with a middle finger, something everyone got a kick out of. Joe Bergman credits Huston with helping to inspire the team just two days before they competed in the Division III Duals, a prestigious tournament they won by going 9-0. Genoa won the 18-team event, which featured five of the top teams in Ohio, by defeating Edison, 39-28, which was also undefeated heading into the final match. Oscar Sanchez, Dylan D’Emilio, Julian Sanchez, Dusty Morgillo and James Limongi won every match and earned firstteam tournament honors and Xavier Beach and Gabe Scott earned second-team honors by going 8-1. In the regional semifinals Wednesday, the Comets fell to Oak Harbor, 35-26, despite leading for nearly the entire match. Now, Genoa will look to win its fifth consecutive Northern Buckeye Conference title before competing in the postseason, where it will look to improve upon its sixth place finish last year.

Your Voice on the Street: By Stephanie Szozda Do you believe Pete Rose should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame?

Brandon Brywczynski Whitehouse “Absolutely. He endured decades of shame from a game so ungrateful for his contributions in the 70’s. Yes he made a mistake, but 3,000+ hits and a career full of hustle should trump that indiscretion. If Mark Maguire or Barry Bonds have a shot at this honor, considering their part in the steroids epidemic, then surely Charlie Hustle should have the same opportunity.”

Larry Ellison Millbury “Yes he belongs in the Hall of Fame. What he did on the ſeld as a player is what puts him in the Hall of Fame. What he did as a coach is different.”

Significant step To the editor: Ohio’s opioid epidemic is a devastating reality for far too many of our citizens and communities. Addiction to opioids not only affects the individuals involved but also their loved ones—parents, children, spouses, friends—in painful ways. It is crucial that we work on ensuring that the dispensation of painkiller medications is continually held to a high standard by working with our pharmacists and prescribers. As legislators, it is necessary that we work to curb the illicit administration of controlled substances. Just as significantly, those battling addiction often fail to receive the proper treatment and care they desperately need, another issue we must address. It is imperative that we take up this cause and continue to fight until drug abuse is eliminated from our state. Senate Bill 319, passed and signed during the 131st General Assembly, is a significant step in the right direction. The legislation revises a number of pertinent laws related to substance abuse, and its various provisions serve to tighten the regulation and oversight of drug administration and distribution. In the past, the absence of an extensive registration process in Ohio for pharmacy technicians made it far too easy for shocking amounts of drug theft to occur. One

They were shocked, I think because I had called them earlier in the day to see if they would accept the bears and I think perhaps they were thinking I would bring a few small bears. They said the kids would be able to cuddle the bears, which would provide them with warmth and a secure feeling. I am sorry that I never asked the gentleman his name, but the Lord knows who he is.

critical component of S.B. 319 strengthens the level of regulation and accountability of pharmacy technicians by requiring them to register with the Board of Pharmacy. The bill also mandates more severe disciplinary measures for pharmacists and pharmacy interns who take part in unprofessional conduct in the practice of pharmacy, and it revises the rules for selling, purchasing, distributing, delivering, or possessing dangerous drugs. The bill also seeks to extend a helping hand to those dealing with an isolating and destructive addiction to opioids. Medication-assisted treatment services, including access to time-limited recovery supports, will be made available to certain addicted offenders. Furthermore, individuals who are prone to an opioid-related overdose will be able to obtain naloxone, an overdose antidote, at places such as homeless shelters, treatment centers, and schools. Strict oversight regarding this epidemic is imperative, but so is placing addicts on a path toward freedom and recovery. I am proud to have supported SB 319, a crucial piece of legislation that provides us

with further guidance to prevail over this pressing issue. Countless Ohioans, both the addicted and their loved ones, are suffering from this widespread epidemic, and it is high time that all of us band together to fight it for as long as it takes. We have more work ahead, but I trust that the implementation of this bill will bring us a bit closer toward our goal of health, healing, and restoration in our great state.

Make self worth your life’s biggest investment Your home and car are big financial investments. They are insured and maintained. But do you place the same importance on yourself? Regardless of how much you own, all of your possessions combined, do not come close to your own worth. When things are going well, it’s easy to take your good fortune for granted. The true value of your health and happiness is not fully appreciated until they are at risk or diminished. They are assumed to always be ever present. As such, too little effort is put into their upkeep. Your true worth is not measured financially. Your worth is your health, happiness, abilities, and potential. Investing in yourself means taking good care of yourself so that you are leading a rewarding, satisfying life. You must invest in both your physical and mental wellbeing. Here are some suggestions for investing in yourself: Get exercise. Exercise is essential for your physical and mental wellbeing. Your body needs to move. This doesn’t require being an exercise fanatic. It is as simple as walking for at least 20 minutes, at least three times a week. Exercise is also a proven stress reducer. Rest and relax. This is when your mind and body have a chance to recharge. Without proper rest and relaxation you risk burning out. These periods should be built into your schedule, rather than being hap hazard. Keep learning. Education is a lifetime pursuit. Today there are more learning opportunities than ever. Learning keeps your mind sharp. Continuously expanding your knowledge allows you to function more effectively. Acquiring new skills pays off for a lifetime. Read a lot. Reading enhances your education. Read a wide variety of topics. Reading also strengthens your written communication skills. Being well read broadens your perspective. Ask questions. Ask why. Formulate your opinions based on accurate information from multiple sources. Question anything which doesn’t make sense. Keep your eyes open for biases, prejudices, and hidden agendas.

Devote time to attaining your goals. Make sure you have enough time to take care of yourself. Associate with positive, upbeat people. The type of people you spend time with affects you. Connect with those who share your good energy. They will motivate you, and you will motivate them. Identify and capitalize on your

Strengths which are not utilized are like buried gold; neither is of any value until brought to the surface. Take risks. All achievement requires you to leave your comfort zone. Change is the only constant in life. Reach out for what you want. Risks are mitigated through preparation, knowledge, and skills, combined with a positive, can-do attitude.

The Press Inspirational Message of the Week: Valentine’s Day The history of Valentine’s Day is clouded in myth and legend. There are at least three people named Valentine who are mentioned in early church documents, all of whom are thought to have been martyred. One was a priest who supposedly married people despite the ban on marriage by the Emperor Claudius. (This ban on marriage was in effect because Claudius believed that single men made better soldiers.) In one of those legends about St. Valentine, we are told that Valentine refused to renounce Christ before Emperor Claudius in the year 280 AD and was thus, sentenced to death. However, before being executed, St. Valentine supposedly restored the sight and hearing of the jailer’s

And, some accounts even tell of St. Valentine sending a letter to the jailer’s daughter signed, “from your Valentine,” and this story is sometimes used to explain the custom of sending love-inspired cards on this day. Whatever the truth about St. Valentine, there is little doubt that love triumphs over all. Love of God, gave countless martyrs the faith to accept their deaths with equanimity. Love also gives people who are wronged, the power to forgive their oppressors. And love inspires all of us to simply be better people. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly scorned. R.S.V. Song of Solomon 8:7

A special ‘Night’

Comic magician & hypnotist to perform Feb. 11 National touring comedy magician and hypnotist Michael Night will be in Oregon one night only for a special show Saturday, Feb. 11. Night will be performing his “Hypnotize Your Valentine” Comedy, Magic, Ventriloquism and Hypnosis show Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Bayside Boardwalk, 2759 Seaman Rd. The show is adult-only, show but Night says, “The show is very funny but never vulgar. It is a blend of magic illusions and standup comedy, then volunteers come up to experience the magic of the mind with hypnosis.” Bayside Boardwalk will host a dinner with chicken paprikash plus beer and wine for the ticket price of $40 per person. Night performed at Oregon Fest a few years back and said Oregon is one of his favorite places to perform. “I truly love the fans that come out to have a fun time,” he said. “This show is special because it’s Valentine’s Day themed, and there’s dinner before the show.” A professional magician for 35 years and a hypnotist for 20 years, Night has added ventriloquism to his list of talents. Throughout his career, he has performed across the country and on numerous TV and radio shows. The entertainment continues to recover from injuries sustained in a serious car accident in 2010, in which he sustained two broken legs and a broken ankle. “One question I get asked all the time is, ‘is hypnosis real?’” Night said. “Yes, it is very real and it is a natural state. Many dentists are using it now instead of pain medicine. And no, you will not cluck like a chicken! “You will see some people do some amazing and very funny things, like thinking they are on ‘American Idol’ or maybe they will sing like Elvis,” he said. Night starts out the show with his award-winning Comedy Magic using several people from the audience to help with the effects. He then opens the stage for volunteers to come up and get hypnotized. Learn more about the show online at http://bit.ly/2jxnm11. Tickets are available at Permanently Scarred Tattoo, 3232 W. Sylvania Ave., Toledo or call 419-862-5165.

Etc. ment, points out that winter does provide a variety of options for the animal care staff. A surprising example of an animal species that actually enjoys the snow is the African elephant, especially 5-year-old Lucas. “To them, snow is a novelty. The keepers will make snowmen with vegetables in them for the herd to enjoy. They will also make large heart-shaped piles of snow, as the elephants have been known to trudge through it and toss it around. In that case, we use the weather to our advantage.” This year, the Zoo is also home to more cold-weather tolerant animals than ever before, including red pandas, snow leopards, polar bears, Bactrian camels, gray wolves, yaks and cinereous vultures. The event is free with Zoo admission. For the full schedule of events, visit toledo-

Love Letters Area youths are invited to put their creative talents to use to share some love and create Valentine’s Day cards for area seniors. More than 15.5 million seniors in America live alone and face isolation due to declining mobility and geographic location. To help combat the negative effects of isolation, DoSomething.org, the larg-

est organization for young people and social change, has teamed up with Meals on Wheels America for the fourth annual Love Letters campaign. Older adults throughout Wood County who are participants of the Wood County Committee on Aging’s (WCCOA) homedelivered meal program are set to receive handmade Valentine’s Day cards created by youth volunteers from across the country. The popular campaign, encouraging young people to create handmade Valentine’s Day cards to lift the spirits of older adults this winter, runs through Feb. 15. Cards will then be included in meal deliveries to Meals on Wheels clients across the country. “For the past four years, WCCOA has partnered with MOWA and DoSomething. org to participate in this special event. These cards brighten the day of so many frail, isolated, homebound older adults. They appreciate the fact that others care enough and are willing to take the time to make a Valentine’s Day card just for them,” said Angie Bradford, director of food service at WCCOA. “Love Letters is one of DoSomething. org’s most popular campaigns because young people get to use their creativity to help brighten older adults’ day during a peak time of isolation and depression,” said Michelle Fino, chief marketing officer at DoSomething.org.

Elly Evarts returns from NFL party a true champion By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com Seven-year old Elly Evarts, a secondgrader at Hilfiker Elementary School in Gibsonburg, is not only an NFL Punt, Pass, & Kick champion — she is nearly the alltime overall national record holder. Evarts’ total of 151 feet fell just short of the record 154 feet, six inches, but she and her family were all smiles when they returned from Orlando, Florida’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. At the national finals, each competitor got two attempts at each discipline and the best score of the two is used, which her father Daniel “Bo” Evarts says was different than at the previous more localized levels. At the other levels, each participant only got only one try for each discipline. “Elly was the first of the 40 competitors to compete, which made us, her parents, nervous. But she said she was excited because she thought if she did well, it would make it harder on the other three girls,” Bo said. “First was the punting portion. She stepped up and had a great punt (51 feet, 11 inches),” Bo continued. “When it came to the throwing portion, her first throw was great and ended up breaking the all-time national record.” Elly’s throw of 48 feet, five inches

broke the previous throwing record of 47 feet, five inches. “The final thing was the kick off the tee portion,” Bo explained. “This is by far Elly’s weakest portion. She has potential to kick well but she is least consistent with the kick. In fact, as we were practicing ahead of time that day, she was struggling with her kicks quite a bit. “Her first kick went to the right and resulted in a 24-foot score, so it came down to her last kick which we knew would be the deciding factor. She stepped up and drilled a straight kick just over 50 feet and immediately she did a fist pump which led to her entourage of 13 friends and family who made the trip to Orlando to celebrate. We knew it would be very difficult for any of the next three girls to beat her overall score of approx. 151 feet,” Bo continued. “The next three girls in her age group followed and did well but they came up short.” The second place girl from Virginia had a score of 137 feet — 14 short of Elly’s score. “Later that night, Elly and the other

participants got to attend a media night for the Punt, Pass and Kick and Flag Football Kids. The kids got to get their picture on the red carpet and some of the kids got interviewed and there were a few NFL players roaming around,” Bo said. For the rest of the weekend, Elly, her family and friends got to go to Disney’s Magical Kingdom and then attended the Pro Bowl the next day. For Elly, who plays flag football in an Oregon league, the fun wasn’t all about winning the national championship. “Elly said the best part of the whole experience, other than winning, was making new friends from around the country. Elly and the second place finisher from Virginia, Jenna, became very close and in fact we are planning to visit Jenna and her family later this summer on our way to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Elly and our family also became close to a couple of other families from Northwest Ohio (Napoleon and Wauseon) who had young sons competing in the PP&K competition,” Bo said.

“Presidential Pop Culture” opens Feb. 3 at HPLM See the evolution of the American presidency through popular culture at a special exhibit that opened Friday, Feb. 3, at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. “Presidential Pop Culture: The Art of Influencing Perception” gives insight into how popular culture shaped and influenced the public perception of presidential hopefuls – winners and losers. This light-hearted exhibit includes cartoons, toys, memorabilia and clips from movies, music and TV. Although the exhibit focuses heavily on President Rutherford B. Hayes, it also includes references to other presidents. The exhibit will include a “Jeopardy!” board with questions that have been on the show regarding U.S. presidents and a living room setup with a TV playing clips from TV and movies. There also will be a photo still provided by Fox Studios from the TV show “Futurama.” In addition, the exhibit will include caricatures drawn by political cartoonist Arthur “Chip” Bok done while he was at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums in 2008 for a presentation. During the months that the exhibit is on display, kids can create their own pop culture magnet to be displayed on a school locker within the exhibit. The exhibit is on display through Oct. 8. Hours in February and March are 9 a.m.5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. Hours for April-Oct. 8 are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon5 p.m. Sunday. The museum has shortened holiday hours of noon to 5 p.m. on Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. It is closed on Easter. Admission is included in the price of a museum ticket. Tickets cost $7.50 for adults, $6.50 for seniors, $3 for kids ages 6-12 and free for kids ages 5 and younger. Members of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums are admitted for free. In addition to the “Presidential Pop Culture” exhibit, the special exhibit “100 Moments: A Century of the Nation’s First Presidential Library” is on display and open through May 7.

Despite Waite’s 79-year drought, CL title within reach By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com It has been 79 years since Waite has won an outright Toledo City League boys basketball title. The Indians shared CL titles in the 1950s and 1970s, but winning an outright championship — current Coach Adam Rodriguez says it hasn’t happened. “We have the picture on the wall out there of the last team that won the City, and we walk right past it. It was a long time ago. Those guys are like 96-years-old now,” Rodriguez said. This year, Waite is 9-7 overall, but 1-5 in the City. However, almost every City League loss has been by a possession or two. “We’ve lost four City League games by six points or less — every single one of them we could have won,” Rodriguez said. “Free throws for a while were killing us and we fixed that. We’re still trying to get better. “We’re struggling to finish games, but our kids are in good spirits. Give them time. We’re right there and all we have to do is get into the final four and anything can happen, especially when we are so close. So, we’re 9-7 right now, but we could easily have three losses right now.” Guards Carl Banks and Mohammed Elmajzoub believe the mistakes can easily be eliminated. “I think we have a really good chance at that championship — we just have to do the little things, like not missing layups or having stupid turnovers. If we can fix some of that, I think we could be really, really good,” Elmajzoub said. Banks, the team’s top scorer at 19 points per game, added, “We just need to make layups and eliminate turnovers. We’ve missed too many lay-ups and had too many turnovers in too many games. Whatever it takes for my team to win a game — if it takes Mohammed to make some shots, and (6-4 senior forward) Ronnie (Sanders) to make lay-ups, I’m trying to get the ball to them.” Waite lost to Bowsher twice (65-63 and 71-65), to Start (57-53 in three overtimes) and to Woodward (64-63). Rogers took Waite down a little more handily, 57-48, but Rodriguez’s team was one run away. That doesn’t mean a City League title isn’t still within reach. Waite’s next four games are against CL opponents, and winning just three could be enough to put Waite in the CL final four. Winning all four should guarantee it, and Rodriguez believes it can be done. “We definitely could get in there, and once we get in there, anything could happen,” Rodriguez said. Win streak gone bad A couple weeks back, Waite was on a four-game win streak, downing Perrysburg 51-47 in Start’s MLK Classic, Monroe (Mich.) 72-62, Scott 46-31 in a CL contest, and then a two-and-a-half hour road trip to Charlotte Forten (Mich.) resulted in a 71-63 Waite win. Then came the rematch with Bowsher, the league leader at 12-4 overall and 6-0 in the City. That game did not start well and resulted in a six-point loss for Waite. “We were on a high, but as coaches, and we even told the kids ‘You still have to play well. That’s a really talented team.’

We had a lot of unforced turnovers in the first quarter — probably six or seven, and it was just us passing the ball to the wing and throwing it out of bounds, right through someone’s hands. We were just nervous. But, hopefully, maybe we can see them a third time and get a win. “Every game, it’s just this little thing or that little thing, but all we have to do is get into that final four, which is possible. We’re just plugging along, and we’ve just got to win some of these City League games. We should be able to beat anybody, I think.” Waite has beaten some decent teams, despite allowing Clay to get their only win so far this season, 51-36, at Harold Potter Field House. Waite’s other non-league wins came over Fostoria (82-62), Swanton (4544), Sylvania Southview (62-59), Monclova Christian (82-46), and a 67-60 overtime victory over Whiteford (Mich.) — not powerhouse Division I programs, but wins nonetheless. Rodriguez’s team is led vocally by Sanders, whose aspirations are to be a college football cornerback next year. For now, Sanders, one of four seniors, has his eyes set on that CL basketball championship trophy. “I’d like to finish up going to the City League tournament and winning a championship,” Sanders said. “We need to have more team chemistry and just pass the ball around more — move the ball.” Rodriguez says without Sanders, Waite wouldn’t be in the position it is now — to at least have a shot at grabbing that elusive title. “Ronnie does a little bit of everything

for us,” Rodriguez said. “He only averages about seven points a game for us, but he averages about 9.5 rebounds. We usually put him on the other team’s best player. He had about eight blocks against Perrysburg in a big win. He’s a senior and he’s been around the varsity for about two-and-a-half years because he played a little bit as a sophomore.” Rodriguez says Sanders has stepped into a leadership role well. “He’s been a little more vocal than he had been in the past, because he knows what to expect from us coaches, and he knows the way our staff and how people do things,” Rodriguez said. “He has a little bit of a coach in him, in his own way, because if he sees a guy, and we do have some sophomores on the varsity — if they are not doing things the right way, he does get on them. “We’ve got some pretty good kids, and we usually have over the last few years. We try to keep guys who have good character and that usually translates over to the court as well.”

leads the CL in rebounding, averaging 11.5 per game. “With Carl and Keyshawn, they are both juniors and big-time contributors, and we tell Keyshawn every day that if he keeps on working, picking from over the last six or seven years, he could be the best player to come out of the league, for sure,” Rodriguez said. Out at the point and getting the team into its offense is Elmajzoub, a Clay transfer who is averaging about 9.5 points. You can now throw into a starting role 6-0 guard Mark Randall, who can also score in big numbers. “He’s a sophomore who can really shoot the ball,” Rodriguez said. “He is head and shoulders ahead of any other sophomore we have ever had here in my years, so we’re hoping that two years down the line, he’s going to be a pretty good player as well. But he’s the best sophomore we’ve had on the varsity, as of right now.” Overall, Rodriguez says he sees plenty of talent coming up through the junior varsity, freshman team, and youth programs. “We’ve got some really good junior high kids in the program and we’ve got some good size on the freshman team. It’s looking positive,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve been (getting plenty of media attention) in the last 10 days, and when I took over the program it was nowhere near that, to say the least. We’ve made some strides, but it’s a little bit slower than what we’ve wanted it to be. But, it’s moving in the right direction. We’re not happy where we are, but we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Scoring when it counts Banks, a junior, is averaging close to 21 points in CL contests — two points more than his overall average. “He’s only about 5-8, and he’s usually getting face-guarded and double- and triple-teamed and he still finds a way to put the ball in the basket,” Rodriguez said. Banks said, “I’m just trying to play basketball, keep working hard at practice and help my teammates get better.” Keyshawn Leach, a 6-4 junior forward,

Indiana Tech inks Woodmore standout Lily Rothert Lily Rothert (Woodmore) signed her letter of intent to join the Indian Tech women’s soccer program as a freshman for 2017, coach Jim Lipocky announced. “Lily led her high school team with 20 goals and 17 assists and will provide a spark for our offense,” Lipocky said. “I am excited to have her join our program and I have high expectations for her.” Rothert said, “As soon as I stepped foot on campus at Indiana Tech, I just knew that this was where I wanted to go. I love the modern campus, community feel, spacious dorms, friendly staff, and of course, the soccer program. Every aspect of the school was a perfect fit; I couldn’t picture myself anywhere else.” A 5-foot-4 midfielder from Elmore, Rothert completed her senior season at Woodmore last fall. Over her four years with the Wildcats, she compiled 55 goals and 50 assists playing under Jason Allen, who also serves as the women’s lacrosse head coach at Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne. “My goal at Indiana Tech is to come in as a freshman and have an immediate impact on the team,” Rothert said. “I hope to develop great relationships with my teammates and coaches and together lead the team to incredible success over the next four years.” Rothert leaves Woodmore as the school record holder for most assists in a game (4), season (17) and career (50). She collected a bevy of awards, including the 2016 Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year, Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Soccer Co-Player of the Year, a second team AllOhio selection as a senior, a three-time alldistrict and all-conference honoree, a twotime Most Productive Offensive Player for the Wildcats and was a MaxPreps/NSCAA Player of the Week winner in 2015. At Woodmore, Lily is part of a family that includes first team All-Press junior midfielder Carly Rothert and second team freshman midfielder Claire Rothert. They led Woodmore to a 17-2-1 record, a Northern Buckeye Conference championship, and a 2-1 district final win over Eastwood that got the Wildcats into the D-III regional semifinals against eventual state semifinalist Doylestown Chippewa.

I have thoroughly enjoyed coaching Lily for the last four years and wish her the best of luck.” The daughter of Trent and Julie Rothert, Lily plans to major in recreational therapy.

For opponents, Sanchez twins a devastating tandem By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Oscar Sanchez saw the writing on the wall. “My freshman year I knew I wasn’t going be able to compete at the state tournament because of Dylan (D’Emilio),” Sanchez said. “My goals were to keep getting better and working to improve every day. This year my goal is to win a state title. I knew it wasn’t going to happen last year.” Sanchez is a sophomore at Genoa and teams up with his fraternal twin brother, Julian, to form a devastating tandem for coach Bob Bergman’s wrestling team. D’Emilio, a sophomore, won the 106-pound Division III state championship last March and is 38-2 this season. Oscar Sanchez is 35-4 at 106 and 113 pounds. Julian is 36-3 at 120 and 126 pounds. Those three all went 9-0 and were named to the all-tournament first team along with undefeated teammates James Limongi (24-2), a sophomore, and freshman Dusty Morgillo (30-10) at last weekend’s D-III Duals in Sandusky. Genoa won the 18-team tournament with a 9-0 record and defeated Edison, 39-28, in the title match. Xavier Beach (30-10) and Gabe Scott (25-13) earned second-team all-tournament honors for the Comets. However, despite jumping out to a 20-point lead, Genoa’s mat men couldn’t pin down Oak Harbor Wednesday night in a Division III Region 18 semifinal.

Second-ranked Oak Harbor climbed their way back, tying the meet at 26-26 heading into the final two bouts before pulling away. Oak Harbor won, 35-26. For the Comets, Oscar Sanchez earned a decision while Dylan D’Emilio and Julian Sanchez scored bonus points with a pin and a technical fall. Corey Welsh and James Limongi collected forfeits for the Comets. The third-ranked Comets end their dual meet season with a record of 27-2 on the year while the Rockets won their regional final match and are moving on to the state duals. Sibling rivalry The Sanchez brothers both stand 5-foot-5 and have been wrestling together since they were 6 years old. Bergman said he can tell them apart because Julian is just a tad heavier than Oscar, who was born six minutes before his sibling. “We have a pretty good relationship,” Julian said. “We kind of mess with each other about who does better and we try to push each other to be better. I don’t like to lose and he doesn’t like to lose either.” Julian had a special season at 113 pounds as a freshman. He won Northern Buckeye Conference and district titles en route to a sixth-place finish at the state tournament. He placed fifth at the Ironman this season, took third at Medina and won the Napoleon Duals. “Julian and Oscar are smart kids,” Bergman said. “Julian has an unbelievable conditioning and cardio (regimen). It’s off

runner-up to Dylan. Oscar is a huge part of Dylan’s success. He’s making him better. That shows how selfless Oscar is. He’s a total team player and that’s very rare. Oscar is the ultimate optimist. He’s always positive.” Julian and Oscar said wrestling with each other on the same team has been a good thing. “He’s always been a partner for me,” Julian said. “He wants to do well and I want to do well. We’re built-in partners. Any room we go to, any practice, we always have a partner.” The brothers admit they get nervous when the other brother is competing in a match. Julian said he sometimes gets more nervous watching Oscar than he does wrestling his own matches. “I’m not out there and it’s hard to watch sometimes,” Julian said. Oscar added, “I watch him and I do get nervous sometimes, like when it’s really close. I don’t know how to describe it. I feel like when he loses, I lose.” The brothers’ main goal this season is to win a state title. They said they have things to work on, but no one is counting them out. “I’m getting there,” Oscar said, “but I have to work on improving every day, like improving my offense. I watched the state finals last year. Ever since then I’ve felt like I couldn’t wait until it was my turn.” Genoa will look to win their fifth consecutive NBC championship next Saturday, February 11 at Fostoria High School.

He’s never intimidated and he just does his thing.” Julian said he is a different wrestler than he was last season. “I’m doing a lot more this year,” he said. “I was a little hurt last year, a little banged up. I’m healthier this year and I’m doing more second practices and workouts in the morning. I also did more preseason tournaments.” Genoa has early-morning workouts and another workout after school. Several individuals then take part in what they call a “second” practice in the evening, concentrating on improving their cardio and working on individual drills. “I’ve been going to more of the second practices,” Oscar said. “It gives me a lot of confidence going into my matches. I don’t have any doubts that I’m the best wrestler on the mat. I just have to wrestle my match. I’ve been able to do it for most of the season and I’ve learned from my teammates.” Bergman said Oscar didn’t pout about being the backup behind D’Emilio last season. Oscar went 36-0 at 106 pounds while competing in the Comets’ dual meets. He is a projected state champion this season, according to Bergman “Oscar was probably the second best 106-pounder in the state last year,” Bergman said. “If he would have been in the lineup, he would have been the state

For second straight year, Rockets reach state duals By Press Staff Writer sports@presspublications.com For the second straight year, the Oak Harbor wrestling team has qualified for the state duals. In a Division III regional final Wednesday at Oak Harbor, the No. 2 state ranked Rockets downed Galion Northmor, 34-24, to move on to the state championships Sunday, Feb. 12 at St. John Arena on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus. The trip to the state duals continues a statewide wrestling dynasty that already includes 23 individual state champions, 74 all-state medalists, 163 individual league champions, and 22 conference team championships. This year’s team, led by head coach George Bergman, is partially dedicating its season to Assistant Coach Bill Scherf, who has announced he will retire after this season — his 17th. He was honored in a ceremony during the regional events Wednesday. Also during the regional meet, Oak Harbor 220 pound senior wrestler Dylan Thorp got his 100th win, marking another highlight of the night, although Thorp didn’t have to take the mat — winning both of his bouts by forfeit. Rockets getting wins over Northmor were freshman Matthew Dewitz (113) by a 14-1 major decision, senior Bruce Hrynciw (132) with a pin in 1:34, senior Dylan Mansor (145) by a 4-3 decision, senior Jake Huston (152) with a 20-5 technical fall decision, junior Garrett Mapes (160) by a 7-5 decision, senior Kian Thompson (182) via a 15-6 major decision, and Thorp, who won by forfeit. Northmor had reached the final by blowing out Marion Pleasant, 57-15. However, Northmor helped Oak Harbor’s cause when the Rockets gained an additional point because of an unsportsmanlike conduct violation called against the Golden Knights. In the semifinal, the Rockets took on No. 3-state ranked Genoa in a match-up of not only Ottawa County rivals, but two of the state’s best teams. In front of a packed house, Oak Harbor fans fell silent as the

(Press photos by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) Comets won the first four matches and jumped to a 20-0 lead. However, as coaches jockeyed wrestlers at different weight classes to take advantage of what the opposition had to give them, and make up for some injuries, the Rockets gradually turned things around. Oak Harbor won nine of 10 matches in the middle and upper weight classes to take a 35-26 victory. Genoa freshman Corey Welsh started out the match by winning at 106 with a forfeit, and then Genoa sophomore Oscar Sanchez defeated Oak Harbor sophomore Cameron Dickman 9-3 at 113. At 120, Genoa sophomore Dylan D’Emilio pinned Oak Harbor sophomore Trent Overmyer in 57 seconds, and then at 126, Genoa sophomore Julian Sanchez defeated Oak Harbor sophomore Tad Jensen, 16-0, earning Sanchez a technical fall. Then the Rockets began their charge.

Emch, fellow Wildcats looking to set new standard By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Woodmore senior wrestler Conor Emch wants to win every match, of course. He wants to win his third Northern Buckeye Conference title this year and make an appearance at the state tournament. Sometimes, however, an athlete either secretly wants or feels compelled to be remembered for leaving a program in better shape than when he started. Emch, a fouryear varsity letterman and owner of a 30-5 combined record in two weight classes (132 and 138) this season, is one of those individuals. “That’s a goal I have,’ Emch said. “My freshman year I only had 12 wins and didn’t play a huge role on the team. I was one of the captains my sophomore year, I was the captain last year and I’m a captain this year. I’m trying to make a difference. Woodmore wrestling has low numbers right now, but the team will be getting better. I would like to leave an impact on Woodmore and help it become a better program.” Fourth-year coach Steve Ulinski has 14 wrestlers this season, and four of them compete at around 120 pounds. The ‘Cats have two seniors in Emch and Jake Amstutz, along with six juniors and six freshmen. “We struggle with numbers and it hurts a guy like Conor,” Ulinski said. “He works with (junior) Tyler Sandwisch and we’re kind of transitioning. I have no sophomores and I should have anywhere from six to eight eighth-graders coming in next year. Conor was sitting in the (coaching) chair with another ex-wrestler at the tournament last weekend. I count on him a lot to lead and testify how hard you have to work at practice to be successful.” Emch earned his 100th career win en route to winning his weight class at the Woodmore “A” Classic this season. He now has 113 career victories and counting. “It was a pretty big accomplishment,” said Emch, who has won three tournaments this season. “My brother (Dexter) wrestled and he didn’t get 100 wins. He got hurt when he was a freshman and that’s why he couldn’t get there. He finished with either 98 or 99.”

Conor said he remembered competing on a Woodmore team comprised of mostly upperclassmen when he was a freshman. He said the older teammates provided good leadership, and he has tried to do the same ever since. “I like to lead by example,” Emch said. “I work hard in practice and the others see you have to work hard in practice to become what you want to be. It’s been a pretty good season except for last weekend at Lima. I still wrestled well, but it didn’t turn out the way I wanted.” Ulinski has no problem with the way Emch has performed so far, on and off the mat. “He’s (become) tougher on top,” the coach said. “Guys are starting to not pick the down position because he’s pretty tough at turning. He was strong there last year but not as dominant as he is now. He’s a pretty heavy hitter in the weight room. He works hard and never misses a day. He’s dependable and likeable and he has excellent character.” Woodmore is not a one-man team. The Wildcats have several other wrestlers with a lot of potential, including 113-pounder Tyler Sandwisch and freshman Brett Sandwisch at 106. Tyler (29-7) has won two tournaments and Brett (26-15) has taken first and third at separate tournaments. “Tyler is one of my more skilled guys,” Ulinski said. “He and Brett are two peas in a pod. Tyler is exactly like Brett. He’s so much longer (than opponents), he constricts a lot. Tyler is very quiet but he’s got kind of a mean streak to him. He’s maximizing his potential right now. Brett and Tyler are probably six inches taller than the guys they wrestle. Brett doesn’t try to outmuscle anybody. He’s pretty technical.” Tyler has been Emch’s drill partner for two years. Emch, who wants to be a firefighter or an EMT, said he sees a lot of himself in the Sandwisch boys. “They sort of wrestle like me,” said Emch, who attends Penta Career Center. “I’ve worked with Tyler a lot and we help each other get better.

Your Services Change, Your Prices Change, Why Does Your Yellow Page Ad Stay The Same? An ad should be flexible... Like your business. Not chiseled in stone like a stagnant yellow page ad. So consider this... 1: With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories, search engines and competing phone books there is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your hands just like your potential customers living or working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your market area. For less than $21 a week, you can reach them in The Press Expert Section. 2: You can frequently change the size and copy of your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers, special prices, new products & new services. 3: Each lively issue of The Press is full of news, information and features from 20 towns and their surrounding areas in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood Counties. More than 475 businesses and individuals use The Press each week to sell goods and services. For more information, call the classified department
