Proposed bike route supported By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com A resolution of support for a proposal to develop a series of corridors crossing Ohio as numbered bicycle routes has been approved by the Lake Township trustees. The trustees approved the resolution Tuesday after hearing a presentation by Christine Connell, a transportation administration specialist with the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments, who said the proposed Ohio route is part of a national corridor that links Montana to Massachusetts. In the TMACOG planning region, U.S. Bike Route 30 branches off another bike route at the Craig Memorial Bridge in Toledo to cross the Maumee River before proceeding through East Toledo to S. Ravine Parkway Drive, which becomes Seaman Road in the City of Oregon. From Seaman, it proceeds south on Wheeling Street to Brown Road, heading west to Reswick Drive and then south to Drouillard Road into the City of Northwood and then through the Village of Walbridge. The route continues south on Drouillard to Ayers Road in Lake Township, where it turns east on Ayers to Bradner Road at the edge of the Village of Millbury. There, it turns south to Latcha Road and proceeds east to Fostoria Road and then east on Hellwig Road into Ottawa County. The resolution notes that bicycle tourism contributes $47 billion a year to the economies of communities that provide facilities for those tourists. Connell said the Ohio Department of Transportation has a goal of designating a signed network of U.S. and state routes that will accommodate long distance cycling, adding the proposed routes follow an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials initiative. She noted the network isn’t a construction project but “we hope to encourage more bike riding by designating routes” with signage. The signs, she said, will be useful for alerting bicyclists to amenities such as parks, rest areas and public restrooms. Millbury Mayor Michael Timmons, who attended the trustees’ meeting, said a similar resolution will be before village council at its March 13 meeting. He said

Oregon OKs contract with FirstEnergy Solutions By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon City Council at its last council meeting in February approved a three year agreement with FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. to act as the city’s electricity aggregation supplier. The rate was negotiated by the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC), of which the city is a member. The three year term starts in June of this year to June of 2020. NOAC, on an annual basis, evaluates and makes recommendations as to whether communities should enter into agreements with managed programs. NOAC, through Palmer Energy, solicited proposals for a new supply of electricity, and at least three proposals were received. After a thorough review of each proposal, it was determined, and recommended by Palmer Energy, that the proposal of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. be accepted as the one that would provide the most cost savings to communities that are members of NOAC. It is estimated that the contract with FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. will save the NOAC customer base about $4.5 million per year. Law Director Melissa Purpura said NOAC solicited quotes from eight energy firms for the contract, and received three proposals from Constellation Energy,

Dynegy, and FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. FirstEnergy Solutions Corp., she said, offered the highest savings for residents and small businesses. Consumers have the option of signing up with another energy company at no cost, she said. City Administrator Mike Beazley cautioned the public about door to door salesmen trying to sign them up to a “cheaper” rate. “Any of our residents have the right to sign up with anyone they want,” said Beazley. “In the last 15 years, I’ve never been aware of anyone saving money by switching.” Mayor Mike Seferian said some energy companies have an introductory offer, but later raise the rates that cost more in the end. “It will save you money for a short time, but then is changes very fast and costs more money,” said Seferian. FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. is automatically the electric provider for NOAC communities unless consumers sign forms to “opt out” of the contract. Opt out letters will be mailed to all consumers in mid March if they do not want FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. to be their electric provider. “If you want FirstEnergy Solutions to be your provider, you do nothing,” said Seferian.

Tariff rate At the council meeting, Councilman Tim Zale asked what would happen if FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. was unable to fulfill the contract during the three year agreement. “In the event that something would happen to FirstEnergy – if the company would default – what happens to the energy rate and what happens with our source of energy if that should take place?” asked Zale. Beazley said some precautionary measures were taken by NOAC this year to protect the member communities. “We took steps with the aggregation coalition this year: In that past, the company that was providing our energy would hold our escrow account more or less. Just to make sure we protected the interests of the individual communities, we have switched the way that is held so it’s not in the hands of the company providing it for us,” said Beazley, “so we’re protected in that way. In addition, if the company was no longer able to fulfill its contract, NOAC would default to the tariff rate. “The tariff rate is not a bad rate in and of itself,” said Beazley. It’s just the regulated tariff rate. Then we would seek other options and proposals, should that take place. Those things were factored in when we looked at the proposals that came in.

Schools seek tax abatement with new power plant By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com The Oregon City Schools District is primed to receive a nice chunk of money this year, thanks to the expected spring opening of Oregon Clean Energy, an 800 megawatt gas-fired electricity power plant on N. Lallendorf Road. The Oregon school board, in a tax incentive donation agreement with Oregon Clean Energy, is expected to receive the first of many annual payments from the company over a 15 year period. This year, the district will receive $850,000, according to Treasurer Jane Fruth. At the end of the 15 year agreement, the district will have received payments totaling $17.5 million. Fruth plans to call the plant manager of Oregon Clean Energy to find out if they still plan to start operations on May 1. “We’re hoping May 1,” Fruth said at a school board meeting on Feb. 21. “I will call the plant manager to verify, because we

have to put that in the Five Year Forecast.” The tax abatement agreement with the new plant will kick in once it begins operations, according to Superintendent Hal Gregory. “The payments will start rolling in for 15 years,” he said.

about the city’s discussions last year to snag a second plant. “But it looks like it’s real close to happening. Obviously, the city is going to be working with Jane and I for a similar agreement, which we are hoping for.”

Similar agreement The district expects a similar agreement to be worked out for a second power plant, for which plans were announced earlier in February. Clean Energy Future – Oregon LLC, a 955 megawatt gas-fired electricity power plant, is being constructed next to the Oregon Clean Energy plant. The $900 million plant is being planned by the same developers of Oregon Clean Energy. Its wholesale electricity output will be adequate to meet the power needs of about 900,000 homes. Under current plans, the facility will be financed by January 2018, break ground in February 2018, and be fully operational by June 2020. “We’ve been hearing about this, as we all know, for a while now,” Gregory said

Financial outlook The Oregon school board had already approved a tax incentive donation agreement with Oregon Energy Future – Oregon LLC. The development of the power plants has been a positive development for the district, which had been in financial straits for several years. Voters, who had defeated operating levies in the district since 2008, had finally approved a 3.95-mill operating levy in 2015. The tax abatement agreement with Oregon Clean Energy further improved its financial outlook, as will an expected tax abatement agreement with Oregon Energy Future – Oregon LLC. It’s very good for our city, and very good for our school system. We’re excited about that,” said Gregory.

Fishing fundraiser benefits Clay High School seniors The Third Annual James R. McAllister “Mac” Memorial Fishing Tournament will be April 8 at Schroeder Farm Campground, 27149 W. River Rd., Perrysburg, which is located along the Maumee River two miles west of Fort Meigs. The 31-year-old McAllister was a tournament champion walleye fisherman last year, but was killed in a January automobile accident returning home from ice fish-

ing in Michigan, so the tournament was named for him this year. The proceeds are to benefit scholarships for Clay High School seniors. The first prize is $1,500, second place gets $800, third place $400, fourth place $100, the largest fish gets $100, and there is also a 50/50 raffle. Family and friends will be donating food for participants to enjoy, and coming to the event does not require en-

trance into the fishing tournament. For rules and regulations, or more info, email MACTournament@gmail.com, visit Facebook.com/MAC Tournament or call organizer Marianne Pirolli, McAllister’s mother, at 419-460-2684, or contact Chris Malcolm at 419-467-8656 or cm85133@ gmail.com. Tournament date is subject to change due to weather.

[FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.] was still the best proposal out there. If something happens in the market, and they stop providing us, then we’ll go out and get proposals again. But we’ll go to the default tariff rate, which is slightly above this rate, should that take place.” Millions saved Oregon, along with several other local communities, is a charter member of NOAC, which was formed in 2003 to permit aggregation by governments of gas and electric purchases to try and save consumers on their utility bills. Most of the communities in Lucas County that joined to form NOAC saved residents and small businesses in Northwest Ohio significant sums of money by aggregating purchases of electricity. It also has saved consumers millions of dollars in their natural gas bills versus the Columbia gas tariff price. Besides Oregon, NOAC is currently comprised of the following member communities: Northwood, Toledo, Lucas County Commissioners representing the unincorporated areas of Lucas County, the board of township trustees for Lake and Perrysburg townships, Maumee, Perrysburg, Rossford, Sylvania, Waterville, the villages of Holland and Ottawa Hills. Each member community has input and responsibility within the coalition, with the two largest members, Toledo and Lucas County, taking the lead on most coalition matters.

Lake Twp. bike route Continued from front page council at its March 13 meeting. He said the Millbury portion of the route will be slightly altered to proceed past two parks in the village. A map prepared by TMACOG also includes proposed corridors for U.S. Bike Route 25 that goes into southwest Michigan, Toledo, and south through Perrysburg into southern Wood County – some of it overlapping the Slippery Elm Trail. U.S Bike Route 40 begins in New York City and ends in Wyoming. In Ohio, it passes through Lima, Bucyrus, and Mansfield before reaching the Canton area. U.S. Bike Route 40A offers an alternative in northwest Ohio, making use of the Wabash-Cannonball Trail and going through Waterville. From there it follows a route across northern Wood County before joining the North Coast Inland Trail near Genoa.

ODNR seeking comments The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) wants to hear from Ohioans about the outdoor recreational activities they enjoy the most. Feedback from the survey will help park, nature preserve and forest managers, as well as local, state and federal officials set priorities for funding and improvements. The survey results will be included in the five-year Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), which provides information on recreation trends and serves as a reference document for state officials allocating federal and state grants among park districts around the state. The survey is through Monday, March 8, at ohiostateparks.org/research.

Road questions arise By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com Is it time for a 40-year-old road maintenance agreement between the Village of Walbridge and Lake Township to be amended? The issue arose as to whether the township or village is responsible for maintaining the stretch of Drouillard Road south of the village after a motorist recently mentioned to a township trustee that the lane stripes on the road were difficult to see at night during a rain storm. A township trustee relayed the motorist’s concerns to the village and James Bishop, village administrator, responded with a letter stating the maintenance agreement isn’t necessarily still binding on the village. “I recommend that the Township Trustees carefully revisit the referenced agreement dated August 22, 1977,” Bishop’s letter says. “You will find that in the nearly 40 years, there have been significant demographic population, commercial use and jurisdictional (City of Toledo) shifts affecting Drouillard Road. The original signatories were not empowered to bind jurisdictions in perpetuity. The rule against perpetuities precluded open-ended terms of any agreement or contract beyond a limited scope and term.” Under the agreement, the village agreed to repair and maintain the stretch of

Indicted

Drouillard and the township agreed to not oppose the village’s annexation of township property that included land where the Stanley rail yard is located. According to testimony at the annexation hearing, the township would be losing about $1,900 annually in property taxes and the village was also bolstering its income tax base with a net gain of about 200 railroad employees. “That the Village does hereby agree to maintain, repair, and, improve Drouillard Road between the Southern boundary of the incorporated limits of the Village of Walbridge and the South Section line of Section 16 of Lake Township. That the Village will at its own expense make the necessary repairs and maintenance to preserve the condition of the highway, and will service said highway in regard to snow removal etc.,” the agreement says. The county engineer’s office would have the final say as to what repairs are needed. Bishop’s letter has been referred to the township solicitor for review, Mark Hummer, township administrator, said. “My understanding is the rule can’t be altered without a mutual agreement by the affected parties,” he said. Although Luckey Road on the west side of the rail yard wasn’t included in the agreement, Bishop’s letter and a 1993 letter to the trustees from the village note the village has been maintaining it even through village officials contend it’s the responsibility of the township.

Commissioners show support for DavisBesse By Larry Limpf News Editor news@presspublications.com The Sandusky County commissioners have voiced their support for the continued operation of the DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station, approving a resolution Tuesday that, in turn, backs a similar resolution passed last month by the Ottawa County Improvement Corp. Both resolutions note that FirstEnergy Corp. has announced its intention to exit the energy generation component of its business either by closing or selling its coal and nuclear plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania if the states don’t establish a format for re-regulating them and setting rates. During an earnings call last November, Charles Jones, FirstEnergy president and chief executive ofﬁcer, said FirstEnergy Solutions and Allegheny Energy Supply, the company’s subsidiaries that own the power plants, are unable to operate proﬁtably at current energy prices. Filing for bankruptcy by the subsidiaries is also an option. The emergence of power plants fueled by natural gas and wind farms have helped keep prices down on regional wholesale markets.

After a recent session of the Ottawa County Grand Jury, indictments have been returned against the following individuals: • Casey L. Hall, 406 N. Behlman Rd., Oak Harbor, was indicted on four counts of Deception to Obtain Dangerous Drugs, all felonies of the fifth degree, after she allegedly called prescriptions into a local pharmacy on four occasions last year. • Elizabeth L. Tarbuskovich, 10655 W. SR 2, Lot 11, Oak Harbor, has been indicted on felony counts of Perjury and Obstructing Justice, along with misdemeanor counts of Falsification. Tarbuskovich is accused of making a statement to law enforcement officers in July 2016, and later testifying in court as to the events. In September, she recanted her statement and said her earlier testimony was untrue. • Robert J. Rodriguez, Jr., who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, has been charged with one count of Possession of Drugs, a felony of the fifth degree. According to reports of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, deputies allegedly found 3-Methylfentanyl in Rodriguez’s possession last September. He was also charged with one misdemeanor count of Theft for allegedly removing a monitoring device used by the Adult Probation Department of the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas to supervise probationers. • Steven S. Michel, 40, who is currently being held in the Sandusky County Detention Facility, is facing felony charges of Failure to Comply and Receiving Stolen Property, along with a misdemeanor charge of Fictitious Plates after a high-speed chase earlier this month. Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers attempted to stop Michel on the Ohio Turnpike on Feb. 13. He fled, exited the turnpike, then led officers from multiple police jurisdictions on a lengthy chase at speeds over 100 mph. He was ultimately taken into custody in Carroll Township. A summons has been issued for Hall to make her initial appearance in the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on March 13. Warrants have been issued for all other defendants.

City buys 3 police cars By Kelly J. Kaczala Press News Editor kkaczala@presspublications.com Oregon council recently approved the purchase of three vehicles for the police department. Mathews Ford provided the best overall quote for the purchase of the three 2017 Ford Utility Police Interceptor vehicles at a cost of $29,411 per vehicle, for a total of $88,233. An allowance for a 2011 Ford Crown Victoria at $3,000, a 2013 Chevy Caprice at $6,500 and another 2013 Chevy Caprice at $7,500, provided a trade-in credit of $17,000, bringing the total final cost of the purchase down to $71,233. Lebanon Ford Inc., of Lebanon, Ohio, also submitted a bid to provide the three vehicles for $28,645 per vehicle, or for a total of $85,935. Although Lebanon Ford Inc. submitted a lower bid, its trade-in allowance of $2,000 for the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria, $5,800 for the 2013 Chevy Caprice, and $6,800 for the second 2013 Chevy Caprice, brought the total final cost of the vehicles down to $71,335, which was higher than the bid provided by Mathews Ford. “The state contract was $71,355. Mathews is actually charging us more for the vehicles, but they’re giving us more in trade-ins,” said Police Chief Mike Navarre. “So it worked out to $122 in savings by going with Mathews Ford, which we like to do anyway because they’re local.” Navarre said the city has been buying

similar SUVs for the department in each the last two years. The trade in of the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria is the last of its kind in the fleet, said Navarre. The trade in of the two Chevy Caprices will leave just two remaining in the fleet. Police departments today purchase sport utilities as the preferred police vehicle. Also at the meeting, council: • Accepted grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration for the construction of the Oregon Bike Preserve, which consists of placing asphalt concrete overlay and asphalt sealant on five miles of the city’s bikeway system within the city. • Accepted grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration for the bid and construction of the Wheeling Street Resurfacing project, which consists of resurfacing Wheeling Street from the south corporation limit to Brown Road and then from Randall Drive to Hollydale Avenue. “With the Wheeling Street project, that will be the rest of Wheeling in terms of repaving all of it within the city corporation limit, especially with the Navarre Avenue project occurring this summer,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. “Both grants pay 80 percent of the projects’ construction costs,” he said. • Set an Economic Development and Planning Committee meeting for Monday, March 6 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the downtown development concept that the city has been working on.

3-vehicle crash under investigation Charges are pending after a three-vehicle crash Monday in Lake Township resulted in six people being injured, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The crash occurred about 1 p.m. near the intersection of state routes 420 and 163. According to the patrol, Jennifer Jennings, 29, Toledo, was traveling westbound on Route 163 and went through a stop sign, and was struck by a commercial truck driven by Carl Poole, 47, of Chesterfield, Michigan, who was southbound on Route 420. The Jennings vehicle then spun and struck a car driven by Jeffrey Fortinberry, 51, of Toledo, who was also southbound on Route 420. His vehicle went off the road and overturned. Three passengers in the Jennings vehicle were ejected from the vehicle: Jayden Green, 4, Jayla Green, 4, and Isreola Young, 10 months. Another passenger, Jessie Young, 9, was partially ejected. All were transported to ProMedica Toledo Hospital and Mercy Health â&#x20AC;&#x201D; St. Vincent Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Jennings is pregnant but the condition of the baby was unknown at the time, the patrol said. The patrolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investigation concluded Jessie Young was not wearing a seat belt and Jayden and Jayla Green were in booster seats that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly secured. Fortinberry was transported to ProMedica Bay Park Community Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The patrol was assisted at the scene by the Ohio Department of Transportation, Lake Township EMS and police departments, the Allen/Clay Township Fire Department, Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Towing, Shipleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Towing and Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Car Care.

Brass band The Historic Pemberville Opera House will welcome The Dodworth Saxhorn Band Saturday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m., as part of the ongoing Live! In the House Concert Series. The opera house, located at 115 Main St., Pemberville, is now fully accessible. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, The Dodworth Saxhorn Band (DSB), is a 19th century community brass band formed in 1985 by musical instrument collector Alexander Pollock. The band is modeled after the Dodworth Band of New York City, which was the premier brass band in the United States from the 1840s to the 1880s. In keeping with its living history origins, the DSB uses only brass and percussion instruments that were built in the 1800s. The band performs 19th century music including compositions and arrangements from the Smithsonian Institute, the Library of Congress, private collections and university libraries as well as a few new arrangements by musicologists who are experts in 19th Century brass band style and instrumentation. Tickets are $12 and are available at Beekerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store in downtown Pemberville, at the door, or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848 or carol@pembervilleoperahouse.org.

One of the worst disasters of the East Side

One of the worst disasters in the history of the East Side was the explosion that took the lives of 10 workers at the Maumee Chemical Company in May 1962. Windows shattered for miles around and buildings shook as far away as Waite High School. The old factory on the northwest corner of Oak and Miami streets was the Home Brewing Company from about 1900 until 1918. After Prohibition ended in 1932, Koerberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brewery occupied the building until 1950 when it became Maumee Chemical. Grangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now stands on the site. This view north on Oak Street shows the old grain elevator in the distance along the river in what is now International Park.

Geena Belkofer Graytown “They don’t seem to be very accommodating for heavy trafſc and big vehicles like ſre trucks, school buses and semis. I don’t think people understand how you’re supposed to use them. Plus they cost a lot to install so I feel they are a big waste of money.”

Calley Hovis Millbury “I would rather have the 4-way stops. I think they’re safer and less expensive.”

Frank Knisely Northwood “I go to the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor and there are 3 roundabouts when you get off of 23. There is so much trafſc up there that if they didn’t have those, you’d be waiting forever. It keeps trafſc moving. People just have to get used to it.”

Lori Wagner Oregon “Oh I think they’re horrible. I think the entrances and exits are confusing. I think they’re a trafſc hazard.”

Daniel Guerra Northwood “I think when used properly they are very effective but people just have to get used to them. I hear people complain but I just think it’s because they’re not used to them. When I lived in Florida we had a lot of them and they made trafſc move faster and smoother.”

You have made too much progress to stop now During the gold rush of the 1800’s, one of the mine owners had been digging for months with nothing to show for it. Since he had invested a great deal of time and money, he was extremely disheartened. Although the other mines in the area had found gold, his mine was worthless. Convinced his mine was in a bad location, he decided he had to prospect elsewhere. He sold his claim and equipment for next to nothing, and moved on in his quest for riches. The new owner was a mining neophyte. He bought the worthless mine because it was all he could afford. He had no idea where to dig, so he asked a geologist for some help. The geologist, after visiting the mine, determined that the new owner should turn left and continue digging at the end of the existing mine shaft. After progressing only two feet in the new direction, the new owner struck a huge gold vein. The original owner had made more progress than he thought. Had he kept going a little farther, he would have discovered the riches he was seeking. Regardless of how close you are, giving up ensures

Ory Park, with its swings, playground equipment and benches, was the place to be, and many young families and grandparents were taking advantage of this wonderful area. As I watched my great-grandchildren having fun, I also was watching the other children play and noticed that they were all getting along. They were taking turns coming down the slide, pushing each other on the swing, playing in the sand together and just enjoyed being out having fun.

Too often people make the mistake of fixating on what they don’t have, rather than acknowledging all of the progress they have made. There are numerous examples of part time college students dropping out of school, even though they only needed a few more credits to graduate. They had become tired of going to school. The students were especially fatigued because they were working while attending college. However, it’s the attainment of the college degree which enhances a resume, not simply hav-

The

ing taken classes. When these people left college before graduating, all of their progress stopped. If they had stuck it out long enough to complete their degree, they would have achieved a goal which would last a lifetime. These students had made too much progress to stop. Another example is Donna, a diligent, hardworking employee who is hoping for a promotion. Donna consistently goes above and beyond what’s required. Any employer should be thrilled to have her working for them. Then, one of her coworkers, Carol, is selected for the promotion. Carol has never put in the same effort as Donna. Donna, demoralized by the decision, stops working as hard. She feels there is no point to excelling when it’s not appreciated. By slacking off, Donna is limiting herself. Not only would she be out of the running for future promotions, Donna has also diminished her chances of switching to a better job. Donna should not have lowered her standards in response to other people. This was in effect giving up.

Clay students become world leaders on Model UN stage By J. Patrick Eaken Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com When it comes to Model United Nations competition, under the leadership of social studies teacher Erin Weiker, Clay High School’s team has become a powerhouse. Weiker’s teams regularly return home from monthly competitions with awards despite having a smaller number of delegates than other schools. Weiker started the program 15 years ago with three students and it has blossomed into its current 21. Clay remains one of the few high schools around the Toledo area to offer a Model UN team. “It’s very hands-on social studies,” Weiker said. “It’s definitely enrichment. These kids are working extremely hard and learning research and debate skills, writing papers, and there are so many life skills that they learn through these competitions.” And, yes, rivalries develop. The Clay students say Traverse City West has become their biggest rival. The goal every year is to take the Best Prepared School Award — perennially won by the northern Michigan school, but since 2009, Clay has finished as team runner-up twice. High school students debate topics often discussed during real UN sessions. The delegates debate issues from the point of view of countries that are currently in the General Assembly, Security Council, and other committees within the UN. “In committee, it is not uncommon for an individual to notice the delegates from Russia and the United States yelling at each other about nuclear non-proliferation and then laughing together after there is a motion to close debate,” said Weiker. The team travels to competitions that simulate United Nations conferences, and Clay students say that at times the discussion becomes political. “Modern politics does work its way in,” said Clay senior Will Nagy, adding that public speaking portions of the competition often mean getting up in front of 700 to 800 students. It can be even worse if the country you are representing is a U.S. adversary, like Iran or Russia, and you have to address political positions from their point of view. “It teaches you how to answer questions that you are not really comfortable answering,” Nagy continued. “We learn ways to turn things from turning into an actual conflict. The whole focus of the U.N. is to keep the peace and work on sustainability issues, but you don’t want to segway too far.” Clay team members Elizabeth Zak and Alayna Wiedmann add that it can be frustrating when you are representing a country that has few resources and little say on international matters, or presenting a resolution that gets voted down by one of five countries with veto power.

The Clay team is now preparing to participate at the Mid-American Model United Nations (MAMUN) competition in Kalamazoo, Michigan March 7-11. Clay students will represent Canada, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates and Kenya. Clay students are working on resolutions regarding international drug control, solving the refugee crisis, human rights and human trafficking. The competition is a day-long affair, with debate in the morning. At competition, they split into caucuses, but Weiker adds that many of the best deals, just like in real life, are often brokered over the lunch table. Weiker says many of her top students work around the clock, “burning the midnight oil” to prepare. What keeps these students going at it so hard, knowing it’s an extracurricular activity that adds hours to their school day? “It’s the passion, just knowing that there are problems out there and you just have to have the courage and the will to want to change that for the greater good,” Clay senior Mateo Garcia said. Yet, at the Canadian-American Security Council Summit (CASCS) competition last December, Nagy earned first place as a Canadian representative on the NATO simulation. It is Nagy’s fourth consecutive win at the CASC. Garcia earned second place representing the United Kingdom on European Union simulation and freshman Jayden Cash earned second place as the African nation of Togo on the Economic and Social Committee simulation.

gram she has built over the last 15 years and the work she has done with the WACNWO. NEELI is to be implemented over the next year and a half. In the first phase, the grant paid for Weiker to travel to Riga, Latvia to meet with grant partners from Italy, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Romania and Spain. In Riga, the grant partners met to plan the method for obtaining best practices in global education from around Europe and the United States. The team attended a workshop at the University of Latvia and planned a youth workshop and student exchange between nations. In November, two NEELI delegates from Hungary came to the U.S. for 21 days to research best practices in global education. They stopped into Weiker’s class, which was chosen as an example of best practice. The Hungarian partners, authors of the NEELI grant, arrived to witness Weiker’s methods for implementation of the Model UN courses, her administration of the Clay Model UN team, and the Global Studies Diploma. It is hoped that eventually the NEELI partners will produce an e-learning platform for global education that will be used internationally. Clay’s other Model UN team members this year are Chase Berry, Lon Burling, Jude Fernandes, Connor Furniss, Maria Gwinn, Alexis Jacobs, Raymond Kellerbauer, Nikolas McNeal, Maria Nichols, Cheyenne Petitpas, Stephen Pulter, Trifani Ranti, Madison Smith, Christian Soto, Christopher Soto, Mason Sprague and Alayna Wiedmann.

In January, Nicolai Salgau and Garcia won consummate diplomat awards at the Walled Lake Western Competition. In 2016 at the CASCS, Nagy, representing the United Kingdom on NATO, and Tim Thomas, representing Kuwait on the Arab League, both won first place. Zak, who represented France on the Security Council, won second place. Last year at the MAMUN competition, Thomas, who was a delegate on the Human Rights committee, and Nagy, who was on the legal committee, both took first place and LeAnn Winslow won second place on the Security Council. Clay recognized internationally Through the World Affairs Council of Northwest Ohio (WAC-NWO), Clay’s Model UN program now offers a Global Studies Diploma, which several of Weiker’s seniors will receive this year. Clay’s 2016 Global Scholars were Winslow, Aaron Faneuff, Marlena McNeal, Kennedy Sattler, Monica Zeiler and Madeline Sneed. Clay has also extended Weiker’s idea to include a Junior Model UN program for middle school students with the senior high students overseeing competition. The Model UN program’s success has even parlayed into involvement through a real international organization. Last year, Weiker was one of just two teachers from the United States selected to work on a grant through the European Union for Nonformal Education Electronic Learning and Inclusion (NEELI). Weiker was chosen because of the success of Clay’s Model United Nations pro-

Genoa teacher honored as Toft Teacher of the Month

“

Her classroom is warm, inviting, and just a wonderful place to be

“

Amy Schlageter, a second-grade teacher at Genoa Elementary School, was honored as the Toft Dairy Teacher of the Month for February. The River and Toft Dairy visited Mrs. Schlageter and her class to award her with a Teacher of the Month certificate and a Toft’s ice cream party on Feb. 8. Mrs. Schlageter has been teaching at Genoa for three years. She is on the committee for the Outdoor Learning Lab at Genoa schools, where she aims to teach students in an outdoor atmosphere and along with her husband, coaches the 3rd/4th-grade basketball team. Schlageter was nominated by Casey Rethman a parent of twin girls in the class. Rethman stated in her nomination. “Amy is the teacher of my twin girls. They absolutely adore her and going to school because she goes above and beyond to connect with every child. She knows them as people as much as she knows them academically. She loves every kiddo she has and they love her right back. “She spends time at school every weekend preparing for the week, on top of being a busy mom of three. Her lessons are fun and creative and meet the needs of all of her students. One of my daughters recently was diagnosed with mono and when contacting her about this she created a basket full of activities, snacks, and things to do (out of her own pocket) because my daughter couldn’t go out for recess or to gym for a month. “She didn’t hesitate for a second to give up her planning and lunch time to make sure my girlie was comfortable and not sad about missing out,” the nomination read. “Her classroom is warm, inviting, and just a wonderful place to be. We are so blessed to have her be such an amazing part of their life. We will be so very sad when this year is over.....until our twin boys have her in about 6 years!” Toft’s and Rick Woodell from 101.5 The River have been honoring local teachers in the Teacher of the Month program for

more than 12 years. Mrs. Schlageter received an ice cream party for her class, a Tilly the Cow bobblehead and free ice cream coupons compliments of Toft Dairy, and a $100 gift certificate for educational supplies from the ABC Center. Located in Sandusky, Toft Dairy has grown from a small family dairy farm in the early 1900s to a state-of-the-art 76,000sq. ft. facility. Milk is delivered to the Sandusky plant 365 days a year from 20 local farms, all of which are within a 50-mile radius.

Waite’s Anna Campos finishes third

Byington, relay teams achieve goals, advance to Canton By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Winning the first league title in 17 years was special. Getting not one, but two relay teams to the state tournament was even better. However, for Taylor Byington becoming the first Oak Harbor girls swimmer in eight years to advance to Canton in an individual event made this season that much more memorable. Byington finished third in the 200 freestyle in 1:57.49 at the Division II district meet, making her the first female Rocket swimmer since Allie Reynolds (200 freestyle) and Olivia Porter (50 free) to get to the state meet. Also qualifying as an individual for the state meet is Waite senior diver Anna Campos, whose score of 498.05 was the sixth best among 24 qualifiers entering the meet in Canton. It was her fourth trip to the Division I state meet, and she came away with her best finish ever, placing third in Division I with a score of 422.8. On Twitter, Campos thanked her coaches and fans who showed up to support her. Over the years, two of her coaches, Allison Belcher and Scott TenEyck, have worked tirelessly to improve Campos’ confidence. Campos placed eighth at last year’s D-I state finals in Canton, scoring 329.95 in the semifinals and 460.6 points in the finals. Campos finished 18th as a sophomore in Canton and did not qualify for the semifinal round as a freshman. Byington and Campos are the only two individuals qualifying from this side of town, but Oak Harbor is rocking the relays — sending two girls freestyle teams. Byington is also part of the 200 free relay team (Abbie Mizelle, Miki Blunt and Paige Priesman) that finished fourth (1:41.51) at districts and the 400 free relay team (Mizelle, Priesman and Erin Druyor), which placed fourth in 3:45.97. “It shows that these past four years have finally paid off. I wouldn’t be here without this team — we are so close and we just keep pushing each other at every practice,” said Byington, who nearly qualified for state in the 500 as well, finishing third (5:25.46) at districts. “We wanted to end this year with a big bang, accomplishing things that we hadn’t done in quite a few years like win the SBC title.” The 200 free relay team entered the state meet seeded 14th, Byington is 20th in the 200 free and the 400 free relay team is ranked 23rd. “Last year, we snuck in with the last seed in the 200 free, but this year we’re comfortable going into the meet and know we belong,” said Priesman. “We know we’re ready to drop even more time and hopefully place even better than we’re seeded.” The 400 free quartet was the difference earlier in the season when the Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference title, finishing less than one second ahead of Port Clinton’s relay team in the final event, a difference that was crucial to helping Oak Harbor win the title over the Redskins, 181-175. It was the first conference championship for the Rockets since 2000, a title that had finished off a run of eight consecutive SBC titles. “I’ve worked really hard throughout

Oak Harbor swimmers Miki Blunt, Taylor Byington, Abbie Mizelle, and Paige Priesman. (Press file photo by Harold Hamilton/HEHphotos.smugmug.com) high school. I think I’ve worked harder every year and was motivated to be better than the season before. Winning the SBC in my senior year could’ve been the end of the season and I would’ve been so happy,” said Priesman, who was seventh in the 200 individual medley (2:18.38) at districts. “But after that win, we’ve continued to work as hard as we possibly could up until we started tapering.” Byington top performer The SBC meet saw Oak Harbor win seven events. Byington (200 free/500 free), who was named the Performer of the Meet, and Mizelle (50 free/100 free) were dual winners in the individual events, Druyor, the lone freshman of the group, won the 100 backstroke and the 200 medley relay of Druyor, Priesman, Bailey Blunt and Miki Blunt, a three-sport star who has been a steady contributor in soccer, swimming and track, opened the meet with a victory. What stands out about this senior-laden group is its camaraderie, which served as an extra motivator during their final campaign. “It’s been a blast. I enjoy spending time together because we’re always doing something fun,” said Mizelle, who is the younger sister of Porter, an assistant coach with the team. “Our team has really bonded and

we definitely helped push each other to do our best. It’s hands down my most memorable year. I’m thankful for having my older sister as one of my coaches.” The girls swim as often as they can during the offseason, some play multiple sports while others workout with Tyson Smith, owner of Fully Committed 5150. Smith is a personal trainer based in Oak Harbor who is certified by the National Strength & Conditioning Association. “Top-notch swimmers swim 10 months per year. With us being a small school, so many of the athletes are multi-sport athletes,” said Oak Harbor coach Andrea Sorg. “However, when they are competing and/ or training for multiple sports at the same time, that is actually a good thing in terms of (building) strength and support muscles.” Swimmers often practice during the morning and afternoon to build strength and endurance. Byington has taken it to another level, competing in triathlons, attending swim clinics and is part of a swim club.

The Press Box Eastwood selects Craig Rutherford to replace his father By Press Staff Writer news@presspublications.com Eastwood has hired Craig Rutherford, the son of recently retired coach Jerry Rutherford, as its new head football coach for the 2017 season. He was approved by the Eastwood board of education at its Feb. 20 meeting. Coach Craig Rutherford is a 2006 graduate of Eastwood High School and a graduate of Bowling Green State University, where he lettered in football for three years. He was also a 2009 recipient of the ScholarAthlete of the Year from BGSU. He has been an assistant football coach at Eastwood from 2010-16 where he served as its defensive coordinator under his father. This will be Craig’s first head coaching assignment. “We are pleased and very excited about Craig being our new head football coach. He is a bright and energetic young man who has already had some great playing and coaching experiences. He also fits the qualities we were looking for in any coach that comes to Eastwood,” said Athletic Director Jeff Hill. “He is of high character and beyond running a quality program which will produce successful football players he and his staff will also produce solid young men of character. He has also been a part of the Eastwood culture of high expectations both as a student-athlete and as a coach and will seek to nurture that culture.” Jerry Rutherford was inducted into Eastwood’s Eagle Way Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Jerry started out his career at Eastwood as an assistant coach in 1981, and took over as head coach the following season, stepping down after 35 years fol-

Emily Edwards lowing the 2016 season. He is the longest tenured football coach in Eastwood history. His teams were 227-140 overall and 168-75 in conference play, winning 10 conference championships and finishing second in the conference nine times. Eastwood qualified for the state playoffs for the first time in school history in 2002, beating Upper Sandusky, 35-6. The Eagles also advanced to the state playoffs nine additional times during his tenure, advancing to the state quarterfinals in 2007. During Coach Rutherford’s time as head coach, Eastwood finished the regular season undefeated in 1988 and 2011. Jerry was honored as the 2011 Associated Press District Coach of the Year. The Toledo Wistert Chapter of the National Football Foundation has honored him five times in 2002, 2004, 2007, 2011, and 2016 for his coaching accomplishments. During his time as head coach, 29 scholar-athletes have been recognized in the National Football Foundation Hall of Fame.

Bears have youth movement well ahead of schedule By Yaneek Smith Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com Having to replace six starters, Gibsonburg could have been in store for a rebuilding year. But with a few elite wrestlers returning, a couple of up-and-comers ready to compete at a high level and an influx of youthful talent, the Golden Bears haven’t missed a beat this year, winning four invitationals and a third consecutive league title and fifth in six years while featuring seven athletes with at least 23 wins. Madison Jaso (40-1) and Hugo Villarreal (36-2), both of whom finished eighth at the Division III state meet last year, returned with the intention of finishing higher this time around, and so far, they’re in the midst of historic seasons that have seen them go a combined 76-3 while dominating the competition. Brad Mendoza is tied for second on the team with 36 victories, followed by Brady Jaso (31-8), Jon Auld (26-9), Dylan Collins (25-10) and David Garcia (23-7). The other starters are John Florio (126), Trey Kaseman (132), Jarett Spoores (138) and Marciano Salazar (220). The team has finished first at four tournaments — the Golden Bear Invite, the Mohawk Invite, the Woodmore “A” Classic and the Carey Classic — while coming in third out of 15 teams at the Celina Invite, which, aside from Gibsonburg, featured only Division I and II schools, and the Bears were fifth out of 30 at the Van Buren Invite. Collins (106), Garcia (120), Villarreal (145), Brady Jaso (160), Mendoza (170) and Madison Jaso (195) were victorious at the Toledo City League/Toledo Area Athletic Conference tournament, helping the Bears win the title for the third year in a row. Salazar, meanwhile, finished second, Florio and Auld were third and Spoores was fourth. Gibsonburg coach Greg Spoores has a special rapport with some of his wrestlers, especially the younger ones, because they were coached by him when he led the school’s biddy program. That has helped

We try to gradually inch our way to the level of competition to make sure we’re prepared for the postseason,” said Spoores. “If you win the tournaments, it’s nice, but what you’re going to remember is sectionals, district, and state. You’re here because you want to be a district qualifier or a state qualifier or state placer.” Challenges and intangibles The five seniors that the Bears had to

replace were Antonio Vasquez, Damien Schmeltz, Wesley Campbell, Marcus Kreais and Griffin Gear. “Having the group of seniors from last year, they were pretty good — two were district placers, (and) we lost a lot of leadership. Thankfully, a few of them still come back around when they’ve had the opportunities. I was concerned more from a leadership standpoint losing that many seniors and only returning one,” said Spoores. “I knew the talent was there. The freshman class was talented. I coached them all the way through biddy. I thought we might stumble a little, I didn’t expect quite this much success, but we’ve had a really good year. I was more worried about

the leadership than the talent.” Not only was it difficult replacing six starters, but at a smaller school like Gibsonburg, it’s always going to be a challenge filling 14 weight classes. “We average 60 to 70 kids per class. There are about 40 boys in each grade. It’s always going to be a battle — my goal is three to four kids per class. Wrestling is just a physically demanding sport,” said Spoores. “I’ve got some kids who are dedicated to being all-around athletes. I’ll take 10 athletes like that instead of 20 who are just happy to be on the team.” With every great unit, there are intangibles. One of this group’s valuable intangibles is leadership. The leadership void left by the departed seniors has been adequately filled the Jasos, Villarreal and Mendoza. Madison Jaso is the lone senior. “Madison has definitely been a leader. You worry about (leadership) more with just one senior. ‘How long is it going to take for it to sink in that this is my last year? I don’t get another year.’ Madison opened up to that a little bit sooner,” said Spoores. “He doesn’t want to be thrust as being the guy. He just kind of takes control of himself and helps the underclassmen when he can. It was a nice surprise and showed a lot of maturity on his part, taking them under his wing like that. “They’re pretty humble. They don’t want to be the guy. Madison, Hugo, Brad and Brady, those four are expecting more out of their teammates and they’ve raised their game to (motivate) their teammates, and it’s been an overall positive effect.” With districts and the state tournament coming up, the Bears know the biggest matches of the year still remain. “We do the best we can and we work hard every day in the room and we try to remind the kids (what’s at stake). This is the real thing, this is Season No. 2. Everything is a stepping stone, every dual meet, and every competition in February is a stepping stone to the tournament. If you win, great, and if not, you learn from your mistakes,” said Spoores. “I’m very excited about where our kids are. We do have a young team. Close to half our team will be competing in the sectional tournament for the first time.”

League’s top wrestler not lacking mental toughness By Mark Griffin Press Contributing Writer sports@presspublications.com One thing all coaches love about their athletes is their mental toughness. Especially in the “individual” sports like wrestling, swimming or golf. The athlete who is mentally tougher can out-swim, out-swing and out-wrestle a bigger, stronger, more talented opponent on any given day. That’s one of the many things Eastwood wrestling coach Joe Wyant likes about senior 220-pounder Tyler Tudor, who was a second-team all-state offensive lineman last fall. “Tyler is a great kid who is mentally tough,” Wyant said. “He’s been our team leader the last two years and he’s done a great job at that. He’s going to be successful in the years to come.” Tudor won his second straight Northern Buckeye Conference tournament title at 220 pounds at Fostoria High School. In fact, Tudor has not lost a conference match at 220 for two straight years. He is 35-6 this season (24 pins), but two of Tudor’s losses came at 285 pounds. Tudor, who stands 5-foot-11, has also won twice at 285. “I think every time I lose, I learn,” Tudor said. “I figure out what to work on at practice. Wrestling at 285 is a different type of wrestling. It’s a lot more strength. If you mess up one time at 285, it’s a lot different than 220. If they catch you on your back, it’s hard to get up off of that.” Eastwood, which took 10 wrestlers to the NBC tournament, finished in fifth place. Genoa used their depth to pile on 192½ points to outpace runner up Elmwood by more than 50 points. Elmwood scored 141 points, followed by Otsego (123½), Rossford (121), Eastwood (111), Woodmore (64½), Lake (54) and Fostoria did not score.

Eastwood senior Michael Burket (36-4) also won an NBC title at 152. Tudor took care of his business, pinning Lake’s Nathan Banky in 3:09 and beating Griffin Sperry of Elmwood, 11-8, in the championship match. “I had nothing to complain about (after the tournament),” Tudor said. “I had faced

Eastwood wrestler Tyler Tudor (right) fights for a takedown against an Elmwood opponent. (Press photo by Lee Welch/ FamilyPhotoGroup. com) Banky in previous years, but not this year. Sperry and I wrestled one time and it was a good match that time. It was good match this time. He’s a good wrestler. Winning (the title) was definitely more special this year. It’s my senior year and I have to give it my all because I don’t get to go do it again.” The NBC coaches voted Tudor the 2016-17 NBC Wrestler of the Year for his performance this season. Tudor said Wyant informed him that he won the honor prior to the award being announced at the conclusion of the NBC tournament. Tudor said he never expected to win it. “I never really thought about it,” he said. “I assumed it would go to somebody from (team champion) Genoa, since they’re winning everything else. Coach came up and told me and it was a pleasant surprise. I was kind of in shock. I didn’t expect it to be me and there was a lot of emotion. The look on my coach’s face, the look he had, that was pretty cool.” Tudor took 129 career victories into the Division III sectional tournament at Lake. He was a sectional champion last season and took second place at districts to advance to the state tournament.

Inspirational Message of the Week: Being a Prophet

A prophet is someone who hears the voice of God and tells others what God is saying, with words and deeds. The prophet is frequently a social critic, because society frequently goes against what God would have us do. The prophet often gives very simple and straightforward directives, like this statement from the prophet Micah: “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8 NIV) The prophet sometimes gives more specific directives, such as warning us about our treatment of the

poor or the widows and orphans in our midst: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” ( James 1:27 NIV) We are all called to be prophets, in our words and in our deeds. One of the hallmarks of the Biblical prophets was that their words were invariably in harmony with their deeds, and their deeds were often symbolic prophesies. “Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.” —James 2:18 NIV

Tudor is taking 13 credit hours this semester at Bowling Green State University. He took 15 credit hours last semester and had close to a 3.5 GPA. He is also the recipient of a National Football Foundation Award, which will be presented next month in Toledo. The state wrestling tournament will also be held next month, and Tudor expects to be there again. He won one match at 220 pounds last year. “I think about it all the time,” Tudor said. “That’s all I think about. This is my last year to do it and I want to do everything I can just to get back to state. It’s a lot harder road this year because there are different competitors and good competitors in my sectional and district. I went to state last year and people expect me to do it again. This is my senior year and my last time doing it, and that makes it special.” Tudor plans to wrestle at Baldwin Wallace University and study either engineering or nursing.
