Oregon is considering taking action against solicitors who are pressuring resi-dents to drop their current electric or natu-ral gas providers and sign up with them. City Administrator Mike Beazley said the city has received several complaints from residents about sales representatives going door to door to fi nd new customers. The solicitors are alleging their rates are lower than the one that was negotiated by the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition, (NOAC), a coalition of local governments who bundle their utility customers into one buying group to negotiate the low-est electric and natural gas rates for their residents. Each governmental entity that is part of NOAC has its own representative on the NOAC board. Residents may opt-out of NOAC agreements and choose their own utility companies. If they decline to choose their own energy providers, residents, by default, are automatically signed up with the companies chosen by NOAC. “We’re getting a lot of calls from some of our residents about the folks going door to door trying to sign up people for elec-tricity and gas services,” said Beazley at Monday’s council meeting. He said Oregon offi cials have resi-dents’ best interests in mind when negoti-ating rates as part of NOAC. “I just want to really strongly caution our residents. As far as I can tell, no Oregon resident who has ever signed up with one of these companies has ever done anything but pay more money than if they had done nothing,” said Beazley. “Every single one, as far as I can tell, has paid more.” “It’s their own personal choice. I just want to make council aware, as people talk to you, that most [electric solicitors] are selling at 8.82 cents or 8.89 cents per kilowatt hour. If they did nothing, they’d be paying 6.9 cents per kilowatt hour,” said Beazley. Their sales pitch includes “things that are technically true,” he added, but some are giving the false impression that the cur-rent NOAC provider, FirstEnergy Solutions, is going out of business.

First time in 40 years

Hetrick is without his animalsBy J. Patrick EakenPress Staff [email protected]

Wednesday night, Tiger Ridge Exotics founder Kenny Hetrick spent the night without an assortment of lions, tigers, and bears outside his home. It was the fi rst night in over 40 years that his exotic animals were gone from the Stony Ridge shelter. Wednesday, Ohio Department of Agriculture offi cials removed six tigers, a lion, black leopard, liger, bobcat and a Kodiak bear that Hetrick’s family said was in hibernation when the ODA offi cials ar-rived. A wolf hybrid was allowed to remain on the property because that species is not applicable to state law. Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn said a search warrant and seizure warrant was executed earlier that morning giving the ODA access to the Tiger Ridge property. During the day, Hetrick watched on secu-rity cameras from inside his home and did not make an effort to intervene. Making it even more diffi cult for the 71-year-old Kenny Hetrick and his family was that Wednesday was the four-year an-

niversary of the passing of Kenny’s wife, Roberta. In addition, the animals in Kenny’s care were aging, many have been with him for over 20 years, and he had made a com-mitment to not take in any more exotic ani-mals. “It’s got to be tough,” said Tiger Ridge fundraiser Lee Widmer. “Some of these he’s raised from babies and it’s got to be like hav-ing your children taken out by Children’s Services. “To watch this happen, and especially with these aging animals — they may not wake up from these tranquilizers. It’s some-

thing that, it’s just got to be tearing his heart out,” Widmer continued. The ODA had denied Hetrick’s appli-cation to operate a rescue facility, saying the application was submitted 298 days late and that a visit by inspectors found “your facility illustrated that you have failed to comply with caging requirements needed for public safety and care standards intended to protect the animals” under the Ohio Revised Code. Widmer believes the ODA over-stepped its bounds. “My wife and I have been involved here for the last couple years and to see what’s going on here is tragic and it’s heart-breaking,” said Widmer, who was raised near Tiger Ridge but now lives in Wayne, Ohio. “I believe it’s just another show of government force against the small guy,” Widmer continued. “Right now, we see it every day. We see where these violations of civil liberties are going on over time, and the Constitution is being violated and raped again, over and over, and there’s nothing anybody is doing about it. This is

...it’s just got to be tearing his

heart out.

just another example of that.” Later Wednesday, a Wood County Common Pleas Court judge signed an in-junction ordering the ODA to bring the ani-mals back to the farm, but offi cials were al-ready on their way with the animals to the ODA’s Reynoldsburg, Ohio facility. Judge Reeve Kelsey ordered a preliminary injunc-tion hearing at the Common Pleas Court on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 1 p.m. “They made the trip very well. They are up and moving around this morning — all of them,” ODA Communications Director Erica M. Hawkins told The Press Thursday. “They are going to continue to be mon-itored and evaluated by our vets here in our care facility, and at the same time, they are not going to be transported again until the vets determine its’ safe for them to be tran-quilized again. It’s a very taxing situation for those animals to go through,” Hawkins continued. Meanwhile, Hawkins added that ODA attorneys will continue researching le-gal remedies to fi ght the injunction. On Thursday, they fi led a complaint against the injunction.

“Residents think that if they don’t sign up today, they won’t have any power,” said Beazley. FirstEnergy Solutions is a subsidiary of Akron based FirstEnergy Corp., the parent fi rm of Toledo Edison. The term of NOAC’s contract with FirstEnergy Solutions is from 2011 to 2017. Customers would have to pay a $25 termination fee to sign up with an alternate electric supplier. There are consumers who do the re-search and decide if the rate fi ts their plan. But, for the most part, residents do not have to go through the trouble because of the city’s effort to fi nd the best rate, said Beazley. “If you’re an energy expert, go ahead and do the analysis, sign up and make your judgment. If you’re not, I think if you went for the rest of your lives and never signed up for anything that someone brought door to door, you wouldn’t lose money,” he said. The city can’t prohibit solicitors from going door to door, said Beazley, but he is looking at other ways to protect residents from those who are less than honorable. “I tend not to like to meddle in things like that,” he said. But he and Law Director Melissa Purpura are looking at putting to-

gether legislation that would pull permits of door to door solicitors if they make false claims, demand to see customers’ bills, or misrepresent themselves as city offi cials. “I just fi nd it frustrating for our resi-dents. Especially for some of our seniors, who are stampeded into signing something and think if they don’t, they won’t have any power,” he said. “It’s not illegal to sell something for more than what others sell it for. But when you go on someone’s porch as opposed to me going to a store and making my own choice – especially if they are bringing a letter from the city giving them permission to do it – I feel like it’s putting the city in a bad light,” he said. “I don’t have a magic potion to make it go away.” Mayor Mike Seferian said few resi-dents know that NOAC negotiates the low-est rate for its members. “The work we do here through our [NOAC] consultant is going to be better than anything residents can do on their own,” said Seferian. Besides Oregon, other members in the NOAC coalition include Northwood, Lake Township, Toledo, Lucas County commissioners (representing the unincor-porated areas of Lucas County), Rossford, Perrysburg, Waterville, Holland, Ottawa Hills, and Maumee.

City warns: Don’t get duped

She said Hetrick can still appeal and request an administrative hearing, “but that is a separate matter” from the search warrant and seizure executed Wednesday, which she believes can be “really confus-ing for folks.” She adds that the ODA is having success fi nding new homes at fa-cilities meeting proper standards of care for seized exotic animals. “It’s an unfortunate situation. Nobody doubts that he cared deeply for those ani-mals,” Hawkins said. “Unfortunately, not everybody has the means to do that.” Constitution allegedly violated Since Ohio law has been made stricter regarding the care of exotic animals, Tiger Ridge has hosted countless fundraisers to help offset the costs of upgrading the facil-ity. The facility is also subject to United States Department of Agriculture licensing and inspection. Hetrick’s daughter, Corrina Hetrick, estimates hundreds of thousands of dol-lars have been raised over the 40-plus years Kenny has cared for these animals. Tiger Ridge, located on a fi ve-acre property at 5359 Fremont Pike, has edu-cated thousands of children and adults in the conservation of these animals.

Corrina Hetrick says her father’s fa-cility has entertained schools, boy scouts, girl scouts, day cares, church groups, handi-capped children, nursing home residents, and autistic children. “This man for the last 40 years has done great things — entertained children and taken in animals that have been left out,” Widmer said. “Other people have illegally gotten these animals and not treated them properly, and for them to come here and do this to him, they have no reason for that. “Kenny has been targeted from the get-go by a systematic government that wanted to take these animals so they can make an example of him. I think everybody who has followed this case from the beginning can agree with that.” Hetrick has been raising exotic ani-mals at Tiger Ridge for more than half his life, and more than once survived critical wounds suffered while caring for them.

He started with one bear, and after suf-fering a critical wound to a grizzly bear in 2004, he had counted 65 tigers born at his place. At that time, he counted 25 animals, including seven tigers, three lions, three black panthers, and two wolves, but those numbers are always changing. That year, the Hetricks needed 3,000 to 4,000 pounds of meat a week. They got that by hauling away cows and horses that farmers put down and by disposing of out-dated meat and chicken from the New York area. It arrived via truck in 80 pound boxes and the couple unloaded it by hand. One tiger in his care was the former mascot for the Massillon Washington High School football team. All of the tigers in the movie Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe, came from Tiger Ridge, and so did a bear cub in the movie Furry Vengeance starring Brendan Fraser and Brooke Shields, were supplied by Tiger Ridge.

Go Red Feb. 6 On e out of every three deaths among women in the U.S. each year is attributed to cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke, causing more fatalities than all forms of cancer combined, according to the American Heart Association. Furthermore, nine in 10 women have at least one risk factor for devel-oping heart disease, but only about half are aware of the issue at all. In an effort to raise awareness of heart disease and empower women with the necessary tools to lead heart healthy lives, the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women and the Ad Council have launched a new public service campaign, just in time for National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 6. In Northwest Ohio, many compa-nies and organizations will be “Going Red” on Feb. 6. Upload your “red” pic-tures to social media using the hashtag #ToledoGoRed. For more information on how to support the campaign, visit goredfor-women.org/WearRedDay.

Oregon’s Parks and Recreation Committee will hold a meeting on February 9 at 7 p.m. in council chambers at the Oregon Municipal Building on Seaman Road to discuss senior services at the new senior center. The meeting will “explain and review the plans for the new senior center facil-ity,” Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of the committee, said at a council meeting on Monday. “Hopefully, we can get the message out and get our seniors in here who are calling, wanting to know when we’re going to get started, if we have the logistics done,” said Reeves. The city bought a 13,500-square-foot building at 4350 Navarre Avenue for a cen-trally located senior center for residents. Although the building is in good shape, some upgrades were needed, including the installation of a kitchen to serve meals to seniors. Revenue from a 0.5-mill fi ve-year se-nior levy, which generates $210,000 to the city annually, will fund expanded services at the center. A senior advisory committee met regu-larly last year to discuss the best options for distributing the levy funds. The city ap-proved a senior service plan that includes enhanced transportation services, some chore services, outreach services, and typi-cal senior center activities that focus on so-cialization. The plan is expected to change over time to adjust to the needs of seniors. The current senior center on Bay Shore Road has long been considered out-dated and too small for seniors’ needs. The James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center, a for-mer pumping station owned by the city, is cramped with only 2,800 square feet, which limits the availability of certain programs. The city will continue to lease part of the new senior facility to an insurance company. Approximately 6,500 square feet will be devoted for senior activities. Also at the meeting, Mayor Mike Seferian noted the brisk sale of sweatshirts and long sleeved T-shirts the city ordered promoting the city’s name change for one day to “Oregon, Ohio Buckeyes on the Bay,

Meeting to discuss plans for senior center

City of Duck Hunters.” The name change, which made national headlines, was just for Jan. 12 to show support for the Ohio State University Buckeyes in its NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision game with the Oregon Ducks football team. “They came in on Friday,” Seferian said of the shirts. He left them in the care of a few city employees because he was on his honeymoon in Punta Cana. “They had probably a fun and hectic week in dealing with all the traffi c,” he said of the employ-ees. Two-thirds of those shirts have been sold, without much advertisement, he add-ed. “We fi gured it was another way of put-ting Oregon in a featured spot. When I went on my honeymoon in Punta Cana, I wore that to the Detroit Airport. If I had a box of 100 shirts, I could have sold them all. I could have pedaled quite a few from my

honeymoon, too. It made a real impression. People asked me where I got them. We all had fun with it.” The shirts are emblazoned with “National Champions Oregon, Ohio, Buckeyes on the Bay, City of Duck Hunters, Bucks 42-Ducks 20, 2014.” The long sleeve gray T-shirt is $10, and the gray hooded sweatshirt is $17. Also at the meeting, council approved a resolution recognizing the 21st annual Oregon Spring Fest, which will be held this year on Sunday, May 17, on Dustin Road near Harbor Drive. The community event is part of the non-profi t Oregon Growth Corporation. The festival, attended by over 10,000 people, includes live entertain-ment, amusement rides, a variety of food, contests, a classic car show, art and a craft show, health information and screenings by two hospitals, and a grand parade.

Local offi cials are working together to try to reduce the number of blocked train intersections across Ottawa County. About 30 people including politicians, law enforcement, fi re and rescue person-nel, school offi cials and residents attended Monday night’s informational meeting at the Allen-Clay Joint Fire District headquar-ters organized by Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick. “Sheriff Levorchick told me he was concerned about escalated levels of blocked railroad crossing complaints and I agreed to work with him to do something about the problem,” said Sen. Randy Gardner. The goal of the public forum was to get input from those affected by the growing problem. “The commitment to working on this issue from Ottawa County offi cials has been tremendous,” Gardner added. The sheriff said he’s been talking for a while with a resident who lives near rail-road tracks who has watched the repeated blockages and the havoc they create for neighbors, motorists and school bus driv-ers. Concern intensifi ed recently when Norfolk-Southern Railroad offi cials an-nounced they plan to ramp up train traffi c in coming months. For example, Oak Harbor offi cials learned recently that that rail company plans to send another 35 trains daily through the village. That’s on top of the 115 already passing through town daily, according to Village Administrator Randy Genzman. But the reduction effort will mean lit-tle without collaboration with the railroad company, the sheriff said. Levorchick says he has hope for some resolution this time since the usually-hard-to-contact railroad company offi cials have reached out to Gardner. They contacted the senator following publication of a story in an area newspaper, according to the sheriff. “I was glad to hear the railroad was willing to work with us. They have ac-knowledged they want to partner with us,” Levorick said. “They don’t want the cross-ings to be blocked either. They have a mon-etary issue associated with the blockages.” Gardner assured the crowd the meeting would occur in days or weeks not months. “The railroad company has already agreed to sit down with us to review the problem crossings and work toward a solu-tion. Sheriff Levorchick will lead our ef-fort, but I will stay involved every step of the way,” Gardner said. In short order, they’ll address commu-nity concerns and fears. On the local front, the plight of fi rst re-sponders not being able to reach emergen-cies is of utmost importance. “That’s why we wanted to come to-gether as a community,” Levorchick ex-plained. School offi cials also revealed the problems bus drivers face when hauling home children after school. “Those buses can’t back up a mile and they can’t go around the downed gates,” Levorchick noted. “Buses are just sitting there for an extended period of time. Now you’re talking about the safety of our chil-dren. If that train sits there for a half hour or 45 minutes, you completely change the makeup of the bus route and possibly affect kids getting home to the safety of their resi-dences.” The sheriff is still collecting comments from area residents and others regarding the train blockages and the problems they create. If you have an incident to share, contact Levorchick at the department’s non-emergency number: 419-734-4404.

Mathews Ford adds shop to service aluminum bodiesBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

Two area auto dealerships are undergo-ing extensive improvements to their facili-ties. At Mathews Ford in Oregon, manage-ment has been planning a groundbreaking for a new body shop which will enable the dealership to service the latest innovations in the automaker’s product line, including the new F-150 pickup truck – a best seller for Ford. The 2015 model features an aluminum body that reduces the vehicle’s weight by about 700 pounds. “When we were talking about how to proceed with a new body shop, instead of just renovating and trying to adjust our old shop, we decided to build a new state-of-the-art body shop that’s going to be able to adapt to paint and repair this all new F-150. There are going to be other alumi-num vehicles coming on line as well,” said Brian Shephard, sales manager. The F-150 was chosen for the 2015 North American Truck/Utility of the Year award at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month. Ford offered dealerships with body

shops discounts on the estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in special equipment and training for the new F-150, Paul Massie, Ford collision marketing manager, told AutoWeek last year. “Of all the units we have in stock the F-150 has been one of our top selling vehicles,” Shephard said. “It’s been the best selling truck in America for about 39 years.” The new F-150 has drawn a lot of inter-est from potential buyers, he said, “The customers seem to be very excited about all the new technology inside them. I’ve had an opportunity to go up to the proving grounds and drive them and haul and tow trailers that were loaded down and compare them with other manufacturers,” Shephard said. “It’s pretty amazing.” Jeff Brown, general manager of Baumann Ford Genoa, said an expansion of that dealership’s showroom is expected to be complete by spring or early summer. When complete, the renovated show-room will cover nearly 3,800 square feet – about double in size from the old show-room. “It’s going to be a four-car showroom and a lot more modern,” Brown said. “We eliminated the body shop at this location and have a joint body shop at our Fremont

location. That’s where all our stores feed into for body work. With all those special-ized vehicles out there the guys need to be certifi ed and trained on several lines. That way you’re not dependant on one source.” There will also be a service drive-up area for customers, allowing them to pull into the garage without having to get out of their vehicle. With the closing of the body shop, the parts department will be moved to the shop’s former location and a storeroom is being located to where the parts depart-ment was located. A detail shop will be moved from the service area to the rear of the building, freeing up space in the service department. “That gives us a couple of extra bays over there for mechanical work,” Brown said. With the Genoa body shop closed, cus-tomers with vehicles needing body work can still drop them off at the Genoa dealer-ship, he said, and they’ll be transported to Fremont. The new showroom will feature more effi cient lighting and other improvements. Outside, the blacktopped area will be in-creased. Brown also said he’s also expecting a lot of interest in the new F-150.


The world's tallest man lived near Rossfordby Larry Michaels

Robert Wadlow, who stood 8 feet, 11.1 inches at the time of his death, was given the title of the World's Tallest Man. He lived for a time on Selkirk Street in Ross Township, and would often be seen shopping in downtown Ross-ford. This picture at the Rossford Library shows his actual size next to a library visitor. No-tice how he towers over the doorway at the left. He wore a size 37 AA shoe, which the library has in a display case. Mr. Wadlow was only 22 years old when he died in 1940.

The Ohio Environmental Council is praising state legislators for re-introduc-ing a bill that attempts to stem the fl ow of phosphorus and other nutrients that feed the toxic algal blooms in the western basin of Lake Erie. However, Jack Shaner, the council’s deputy director, said the bill needs to in-clude several features to be effective, in-cluding:• A ban on the application of fertilizer and livestock manure to frozen and snow-cov-ered ground in the western basin.• A ban on open lake disposal of sediments dredged from ports and harbors in the lake or its tributaries as well as regular monitor-ing and reporting of phosphorus levels by large, public water treatment systems. Shaner said with those requirements, the bill is “just the sort of medicine that Lake Erie and our inland lakes need for the

Aims to stem phosphorus

Lake bill will have 2 hearingstoxic algae menace…” He said a 2012 report by the Ohio Department of Agriculture includes recom-mendations to not spread fertilizer on fro-zen or snow-covered fi elds. The bill’s co-sponsor Sen. Randy Gardner (R- Bowling Green) said two hear-ings will be held this week for Senate Bill 1, called the Clean Lake Erie Bill, before the agriculture committee. The hearings are scheduled for Feb. 3 and 4. Sen. Bob Peterson, R- Sabina, is also a co-sponsor. Vickie Askins, a Bloom Township resident, who, along with her husband, has fi led a lawsuit contending the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ohio EPA and Ohio Department of Agriculture have violated federal law covering per-mits for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, said the re-introduced bill needs signifi cant changes from its prede-cessor House Bill 490. “They will have to completely gut the old bill and add meaningful new regula-tions to close the manure loopholes in state law in order to make this bill credible,” she said. In a letter she intends to send to Gov. John Kasich, Askins said the former bill would have little impact on how manure is applied to fi elds. “HB 490 would have done nothing to a CAFO’s ability to apply untreated manure wherever, whenever and at whatever rate they want with impunity, regardless of the regulations they are supposed to follow. Citizens provide the oversight and taxpay-ers pay for the cleanup costs,” she writes. The Ohio Lake Erie Phosphorus Task Force has listed agriculture as a source of dissolved phosphorus loading into Lake Erie tributaries. “Ohio needs to go all out to protect our Great Lake -- and all of our inland lakes -- and the million people that rely upon it for drinking water as well as the $1 billion sport-fi shing industry that it supports. “This legislation is one of several ac-tions that lawmakers need to take. But it is a fundamental fi rst step,” said Shaner.

Recycling discussed Members of Elmore Village Council are considering an expansion of the curb-side recycling service. Council invited Tom Dunn, president of Buckeye Sanitation, Inc., the village’s contracted hauler, to its Jan. 26 meeting to discuss options for expanding the service to residents. In addition to trash pick up service from Buckeye, residents have curbside re-cycling service on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, according to the company’s website. Rick Claar, a member of village coun-cil, said Tuesday the village is trying to put together a plan for utilizing containers for the service instead of residents using bags. The goal, he said, is to increase recy-cling in the village by making the process easier for our residents. He said items made of plastic, glass bottles, aluminum and tin cans and cardboard and paper products are currently being recycled.

Owens Giving Kids a Smile

Committeeto promoteGenoa levyBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

Residents of the Genoa School District plan to conduct more of a grass roots cam-paign to promote a levy request that will be on the May ballot. Members of a committee formed recent-ly to push for the passage of an emergency levy on the May 5 ballot say the additional revenues are needed to maintain quality curriculum programs. If passed, the levy will generate $1.025 million annually in operating revenues and be in effect for fi ve years. Voters rejected levies twice last year. The committee has scheduled another meeting for Feb. 12 at 7 p.m. in the middle school cafeteria, according to Bill Nye, dis-trict treasurer. Nye outlined the district’s fi nancial sit-uation during the committee’s fi rst meeting on Jan. 22, informing members the district has realized a drop in revenues from various sources over the past several years. Personal tangible property taxes – lev-ied on businesses inventories and equip-ment – yielded about $615,000 a year for the district before changes in state law took ef-fect and the economy took a downturn, Nye said. Even with reimbursements from the state, the district has realized a net loss of approximately $436,000 annually. “And our real estate tax collections have basically been stagnant since 2005-06,” Nye said, adding the district receives about half of its operating revenues from the state. Members of the school board have been discussing potential spending cuts but not yet compiled an offi cial list. Some things being considered are reduced busing and reducing the school day. Nye said the latter move would save on expenses for hourly

employees and utilities. “The reality of it is what will be cut will be determined at the time if the levy doesn’t pass,” he said. Residents have formed fi ve sub-com-mittees to promote the ballot issue: mar-keting and signs, public relations, voter registration/absentee ballots, fi nance and forums/speakers. A fundraiser event is being planned in conjunction with the district’s parent teach-er organization. Tara Linker, who’s been working with the public relations sub-committee, said the panel will come up with a slogan for the campaign to show vital programs shouldn’t be cut. About 80 persons attended the fi rst meeting, Nye said.

The fi rst of four forums was held by an 18-member task force this month in Cleveland to get input from the public on how to improve relations between police and local communities, Oregon Police Chief Mike Navarre said on Monday. One of the forums is scheduled to be held this month at the University of Toledo. Gov. John Kasich in December ap-pointed Navarre to the Ohio Task Force on Community-Police relations, which was formed in December in the wake of high pro-fi le police shooting incidents in Ohio. Among the fatalities was a 12-year-old boy who was playing with a BB gun in a Cleveland city park, and a man who picked up an air rifl e in a Walmart store in Beavercreek. Navarre is the only chief of police

Forum looking at local community-police relationson the task force, according to Oregon Administrator Mike Beazley. “Mike is doing a good job represent-ing Ohio and the city,” said Beazley. Navarre said he was recommended by the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police to be on the task force. Issues the task force is charged with exploring include best community polic-ing practices, law enforcement training, standards for law enforcement interaction with the community, the criminal justice system and community oversight and in-volvement in law enforcement. The forums are particularly aimed at African Americans, many of whom be-lieve they are unfairly targeted by police. “It has become apparent that too many people in communities of color feel that the protective shield that law and or-der is intended to provide is not working for them,” Kasich said in an executive or-

der on Dec. 12 that formed the task force, “and this underlying friction can only be resolved by enhancing the confi dence felt by the community in their relationship with law enforcement.” The vast majority of law enforcement offi cers in Ohio, added Kasich, “are honest, decent and hard working people who every day put their safety and lives on the line in very dangerous situations in service to their communities.” The meeting at Cleveland State University on Jan. 20 lasted over fi ve hours, said Navarre, out of which two and a half hours consisted of listening to public com-ments. “Most of that was geared negatively toward the Cleveland Police Department, which has gone through some troubled times in the last three or four years,” said Navarre. “In fact, there’s a Justice Department

investigation, which is going to result in a consent decree where they’ve looked at over 300 cases of alleged excessive force. The fi nding was pretty strong against Cleveland,” said Navarre. The investigation concluded that Cleveland offi cers are not provided with adequate training, policy guidance, sup-port, and supervision, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The court enforce-able consent decree will include a require-ment for an independent monitor who will oversee and ensure necessary reforms. The next public forum will be held in Wilberforce near Dayton. The third forum is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 25 at the University of Toledo. The last forum will be held next month in Cincinnati, according to Navarre. “The governor wants a report with rec-ommendations from the task force by the end of April,” said Navarre.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Algae attention needed To the editor: I’ve been following The Press articles on algae in Lake Erie and I’m happy to see the attention you are giving the issue. It’s pretty crazy that our water treat-ment system has to become such a complex and large chemistry set in order to take some of the toxins out of our water, and possibly add a few in the process. There is another algal toxin possibly linked to three of the brain tangle dis-eases, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and ALS. It’s well presented in a TEDx talk by Dr. Paul Alan Cox, who put together a consor-tium of researchers from 27 universities around the world to discover the link be-tween the cyanobacterial neurotoxin beta-

N methylamino l alanine (BMAA) and the brain diseases. Dr. Cox spent decades in drug discov-ery for major drug companies and discov-ered a few important drugs. BMAA, mov-ing up the food chain through only two steps, increased its concentration 10,000 times the concentration found in the algal mat. His team describes the process by which BMAA takes the place of a natural human Transfer RNA and causes neuron proteins to collapse and tangle. If chlorina-tion is the answer, what does chlorine turn the many algal toxins into? Are the molecules broken down, or are they made more complex?Bill KatakisNorthwood

What should you do when facing a di-lemma? How do you make diffi cult choic-es? Is there a way to determine which path is the most appropriate for you? Is there anything that can help you deal with these common, regularly occurring situations? Everyone has an internal guide which has the potential to help you fi nd your way when facing a quandary. The key is-sue is whether or not you pay attention to it. Although this inner voice is constantly speaking to you, are you aware of it and do you listen? The mind is your most powerful asset. Its subconscious awareness and perception is absolutely amazing. Your mind is constantly assessing situ-ations; those you are aware of, as well as those you are not. Your mind then evalu-ates what action you should take and makes recommendations. It’s this internal guide which affects intuition. People often regret ignoring the guidance intuition provides. Haven’t you said to yourself, “I knew I shouldn’t do that,” or “Something was telling me I should have acted.” The problem arises when you justify acting contrary to the messages your inter-

Facing a dilemma? Follow your internal compass

nal guide is providing. For example, most people intuitively know what they should and shouldn’t do. Yet a surprising number of people act in opposition to their under-standing. Your inner voice is present almost from

birth. It’s also ignored early on as well. Even infants instinctively know when they are behaving in a way that will get them into trouble. This bad habit of ignoring your in-ner voice impacts you throughout life. The daily headlines are fi lled with illustration of people who should have known better than to act in the way they did. Your inner guide knows you shouldn’t take any action which harms others. It rec-ognizes unethical behavior as being a path-way to disaster. Your inner guide operates nonstop in an attempt to protect you from self-destructive behavior. Your inner guide learns from experi-ence. It keeps track of what you do that works and that which does not. It tries to encourage you to repeat successes and avoid mistakes. Yet, your inner voice only has the power to make suggestions. You make a conscious decision to pay attention to or ignore them. The internal guide knows your strengths, weakness, likes, and dislikes. You can support your guide by developing a conscious awareness of who you are as well. Underutilization of your strengths is a great waste. Making no attempt to over-come your weaknesses is extremely limit-

ing. Fear causes you to ignore your inner guide. Fear of criticism, fear of loss, and fear of rejection frequently override your guide. As you already know, bad decisions invariably catch up to you. So paying more attention to your inner voice will save you much time and anguish. Your inner guide wants to keep you on a path which is best for you. It doesn’t care about what other people have, say, think, or do. It only cares about what is right for you. It’s your doubt, insecurities, and wor-ry which drown out your inner voice. You should not make choices based solely on your internal voice, but it should be an integral part of your decision making process. Your best decisions are the ones where both your conscious and subcon-scious awareness are in alignment. Stay in touch with the messages your internal guide is sending. It is a signifi cant asset and ally. Your internal guide is a good friend who only wants what is in your best interest.

What should sports fans do when our heroes turn out to be frauds? Maybe you grew up watching Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire breaking home run records, as I did, only to fi nd out that they (and just about everyone else in pro-fessional baseball) had been using perfor-mance-enhancing drugs. Perhaps you also remember the 2000 Spanish Paralympics basketball team. Ten of the 12 members of the team feigned mental disabilities to win gold medals in a sports scandal that will likely go down as one of the most depraved and insidious in history. Further back, maybe you even watched the point-shaving scandal of the 1978-’79 Boston College basketball team unfold. Even if you don’t like sports, you’ve probably heard about “Defl ategate.” NFL offi cials recently found that the New England Patriots’ game footballs were infl ated to levels below the league’s

Sports fans, what’s happened to playing fair and square?

required minimum during a 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts. That win sent the Patriots to the Super Bowl. Under-infl ated footballs are easier for quarterbacks and running backs to grip and for wide receivers to catch, especially in cold weather. By letting a little air out of the balls that only they used, someone in the Patriots’ organization (yet to be deter-mined) gave them a little boost. Given the score, that maneuver almost certainly didn’t impact the fi nal outcome of the game. But this scandal raises an even more troubling question than if the cheating had been more fl agrant: Is there any length to which cer-

tain players, coaches, and administra-tors won’t go to gain an unfair advantage? This isn’t even the fi rst ma-jor Patriots’ scandal of the decade, after all. Whether it’s George Brett violating regulations for smearing pine tar on base-ball bats, or Rosie Ruiz jumping out of the crowd to “win” the 1980 Boston Marathon, it seems like there’s no corner that can’t be cut. Fans and players alike tout “love of the game” as the primary motivator for ath-letes. But playing fair and square has be-come an exception rather than the rule. So, league offi cials and regulators in all sports must tackle this quandary: Will they crack down on cheating once and for all in the name of fair play?

The sports community is standing at a fork in the road. Which path they choose will speak volumes about their priorities. One is a system that works tirelessly to enforce rules and create accountability so that everyone has a fair shot and nice guys don’t always fi nish last. The other looks more like professional wrestling, where fans understand that the game is rigged from the get-go. It’s enter-tainment, not sports. As a lifelong sports fan, I want to be-lieve that championships are rewarded to those who played the best, not who cheated the best.

To highly discerning foodies, Darra Goldstein is something of a culinary celeb-rity. As the intellectual counterpart to the likes of Anthony Bourdain, Goldstein is the thinking person’s food writer. The dining and cultural journal she founded, Gastronomica, has earned high marks since its 2001 inception, including a recent James Beard Foundation Award for Publication of the Year and a spot on the Saveur magazine 100, a list of top trends and movements. She has authored four cookbooks, half of which are a nod to her unique knowledge of Russian culture as professor of Russian at Williams College in Massachusetts.

Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland will add sizzle and spice to the Pemberville Opera House’s Live! in the House concert series as they take the stage Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. (Photo courtesy of the Chefs of Dixieland)

book signing with Goldstein at 7 p.m. As a cookbook author (of “A Taste of Russia,” “The Georgian Feast,” “The Winter Vegetarian” and “Baking Boot Camp”) Goldstein presents imaginative approach-es to cooking. “If people are going to write seriously about food,” Goldstein has said, “they really should be familiar with what goes on in the kitchen.” “My interest in food is not just gusta-tory,” Goldstein said in a 2008 interview. “That’s an important part of it, but I’m real-ly concerned with very serious issues that have to do with society and cultures, and food is a wonderful way to enter into other cultures and understand other people.”

Oregon Theatre to stage, “The Boys Next Door” Oregon Community Theatre will present the comedy, “The Boys Next Door,” Feb. 13-15 and Feb. 20 and 21 in the auditorium at Fassett Middle School, 3025 Starr Ave., Oregon. The play, written by Tom Griffi n, tells the story of four men with men-tal disabilities living in a group home through a series of brief vignettes that together form a charming and moving picture of life, friendship and over-coming or living with adversity. The director for the production is Kevin Harrington; Tim Yard is the producer. Mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these four, where “little things” sometimes become momen-tous (and often very funny), are mo-ments of great poignancy when, audi-ences are reminded that like everyone, those with disabilities want to love, laugh and fi nd meaning and purpose in their lives. “There is a fi ne line between acting a role and doing an impres-sion of someone, in this case, acting would seem real, while impersonating would be awkward for the audience,” Harrington said. “I anticipate that this will be a challenging, yet rewarding play to bring to the stage.” Harrington notes there is a paren-tal advisory for the show due to explic-it language and mature subject matter. Curtain time for The “Boys Next Door” will be 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. during the Feb. 15 matinee. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. Tickets may be purchased online at oregoncommunitytheatre.org or by calling 419-691-1398, at the door be-fore all performances.

Music director named The Teutonia Maennerchor and Damenchor German-American cho-ruses have elected Dr. Denise Ritter Bernardini to the position of Music Director. Dr. Bernardini serves as an assis-tant professor of voice at the University of Toledo in the role of Director of Opera. She received a Doctorate in Vocal Performance from the University of Oklahoma, a Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance/Vocal Pedagogy from Texas Christian University, and Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from East Central University of Oklahoma. She has also sung in a wide range of roles with various opera companies, community and university choruses and church choirs. Dr. Bernardini will help build the level of excellence for the two German-language based community adult cho-ruses.

No matter what the weather forecaster says, it will be a hot time in Pemberville Saturday, Feb. 7 when Ragtime Rick and the Chefs of Dixieland cook up an evening of spicy Dixieland jazz. The performance, part of the ongoing Live! in the House concert series, will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at Beeker’s General Store, 226 E. Front St., Pemberville, or by contacting Carol at 419-287-4848 or [email protected]. Ragtime Rick (Grafi ng) has been a fi xture on the Toledo music scene for years, playing a unique brand of piano

Chefs of Dixieland have recipe for spicy Dixieland jazzjazz from the heyday of piano music – Dixieland. Grafi ng operated his own Toledo club, Ragtime Rick’s First Draught, for more than 22 years. After the popular landmark closed in 2003, he resumed his career as a ragtime performer, playing at concert halls, jazz festivals and private parties – anywhere folks gather to be entertained and have fun. Rick’s son, John, who was at the time studying trumpet at the University of Toledo, and Ben Herrick, a UT grad and trombone player, urged Rick to form a “hot jass band.” The restaurant attire and aprons from the First Draught were

recycled as band uniforms and the Chefs of Dixieland were born. Today, the ensemble also includes Rick’s wife, “Banjo Betsy” Grafi ng; Wes Linenkugel, who plays several instruments and Jan Mudica, on soprano sax (the chefs call it a “fi sh horn”). Kevin Shope alternates with Herrick in the trombone chair. For more information about the musicians, visit www.chefsofdixieland.com.

By J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Welcome to the suburbs, Ralph Cubberly. In his fi fth year as wrestling coach at Clay, Cubberly has already built a program recognized around the state, complete with two wrestlers this year, Central Michigan University recruits Richie Screptock and Matt Stencel, who are rated No. 1 in Ohio in their respective weight divisions. Cubberly began coaching in 1988 at Eastwood, and it took him a while to learn the ins and outs to build a program there. After 20 years, he went to Defi ance to coach for three years, and now he at the Oregon high school building his third pro-gram. He’s not afraid to talk about the ele-phant in the room no other coach or school administrator wants to talk about — the one he didn’t run into so much when he was at Eastwood or Defi ance. That “elephant” is private school par-ents who attend biddy wrestling tourna-ments looking to see who looks promising and who doesn’t. Cubberly, a social studies teacher at Clay High School, says he knows private schools offer a great education and oppor-tunity, but so does Oregon Schools. “We don’t want to lose kids. We want people to know what we have,” Cubberly said. “We’re fi nding that people are com-ing over to our youth stuff and our middle school and they are talking to people, and I’m like, ‘What a minute. Hold on, you know.’ They’re buttering their bread, so I want them to know, ‘Hey, we’ve got some pretty good stuff to offer here, too.’” No matter how you look at it, the suc-cess he built at Eastwood and what he has going at Clay now speaks for itself. In 26 years, he has coached 80 state qualifi ers, 46 state placers, 13 state run-ners-up, and seven state champions. Clay won the Three Rivers Athletic Conference team title last year, its sixth consecutive league championship dating back to its days in the Toledo City League when Gerry Anthony coached the team. This year, Central Catholic is considered a favorite to break that trend.

Cubberly says at Clay, what sets his team apart is his coaching staff. Every assistant placed at state while in high school. Most went onto NCAA Division I careers and several have had successful stints as head coaches elsewhere, includ-ing Sandusky St. Mary and Genoa. They include Nick Purdue, Eric Cubberly, Gavin Nelson, Martin Nauful, Kurt Wolff, and Rich Wagner.

Wagner alone has 30 years head coach-ing experience, coached 55 state qualifi -

ers, 22 state placers, and fi ve state placers. Naufal has 25 years coaching. Eric Cubberly is a two-time state champion, four-year let-ter winner at CMU, Junior World Team Trial participant, and Cadet and eight-time Cadet and Junior National All-American.

Purdue is a high school state cham-pion, four letter winner at CMU, Mid-American Conference champion, and three time Division I national qualifi er. Wolff was a state runner-up, four-year letter winner at Notre Dame College, a three-time NCAA D-II national qualifer. Nelson fi nished third at the OHSAA D-I state tourney in 2014.

At Eastwood, Coach Cubberly was the Division II Coach of the Year in 2006 and a fi ve-time Northwest District Coach of the Year. He was inducted into the Ohio

Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in 2010.Cubberly coached fi ve individual

state champions and fi ve state runners-up at Eastwood, and he had 65 state quali-fi ers and 29 state-placers. The Eagles took second at the Division II state tournament in 2005 and ‘06 and won fi ve Suburban Lakes League titles with six second-place fi nishes. Eastwood had a 351-99 dual-meet record in Cubberly’s 20 seasons.

In his short span commuting from his Wood County home to Defi ance, the Bulldogs went from fi nishing eighth in the Western Buckeye League to fi nish as WBL runner-up in his second season. They were on their way to better things when the op-portunity arrived for Cubberly in Oregon, which is closer to his home.

Starts at biddy levelCubberly says it all starts with the little

guys — the biddy wrestlers.Two K-6 biddy programs are operating

out of the Clay High School wrestling room — the Oregon Wrestling Club, Clay’s youth program, under Matt Medina, and the East Toledo Wrestling Club under Gary Burgess. The ETWC pays a rental fee to use Clay’s facility.

“They serve two purposes. East Toledo is for the more enthusiastic — for the guy who wants to do some traveling, some ma-jor competition,” Cubberly explained.

“The Clay one is more of a laid back kind of thing for kids who are just now getting into it. It feeds the East Toledo pro-gram.

The Fassett Middle School program is run by Coach Troy McLaughlin, a former varsity head coach.

“He’s a great junior high coach — he’s a great high school coach. You can’t ask for anything more than that,” Cubberly said. “The guy is well-versed in all aspects of wrestling — Greco-Roman, Freestyle, Folkstyle — everything.

“He’s got some really good assistant coaches. Those guys do a wonderful job training the kids and making it fun for the kids. They have two full teams that they run two schedules for — like a Varsity A and Varsity B at our junior high level.”

Cubberly says the junior high program produced 20 freshmen for the high school team this year alone, an increase from prior seasons. Plus, Cubberly says many are al-ready prepared for varsity wrestling.

“Since Troy has been there, they’ve re-ally, really toughened our schedule up at the junior high,” Cubberly said. “That A team, it isn’t like a normal junior high team that just goes around on Saturdays and wrestles. These guys go out of town — they go to Wadsworth, they go to Philo, Ohio, which holds the ‘Iron Man’ of junior high. There are kids from all over the country at that tournament. He’s really built a major schedule up so our kids get some really good competition. So those kids are com-peting, so we’re always giving them an op-portunity.”

““We don’t want to lose kids. We want

people to know what we have.

Waite grapplers perfect 5-0 at City League DualsBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Waite swept the Toledo City League dual tournament at Bowsher, fi nishing 5-0. The Indians defeated Rogers, 84-0, Start, 53-21, Bowsher, 84-0, Scott, 51-25 and Woodward, 62-18. “We wrestled very well,” Waite coach Shane Kokensparger said. “Our rigorous scheduled helped us prepare for the dual meet format. Our main goal was to come and wrestle hard and stay healthy. Our key wrestlers wrestled very tough, with many of them going 5-0. This team is motivated and determined to set their goals higher than the City League Duals. “We were led by Josh Kendall (25-9 at 182/195 pounds), who went 5-0 with four pins getting a revenge win over a Start wrestler,” Kokensparger continued. “Next, James Johnson (33-6) at 145 may have had the deepest weight class, fi nishing 5-0. Eduardo Jackson (5-0 at 160) had shown the most improvement all year, raising his

record to 34-9.”Other Waite wrestlers fi nshing 5-0

were Dylan Rathbun (106), Tristan Snider (126) and Sergio Braswel (132).

Indians who were 4-1 include Anthony Roslas (113), Krys Young (120), Chase Worthington (160/170) and Jovan Sanson (220).

Finishing 3-2 in the dual meet event

were Indians Michael Gage (138), Anthony Reigle (160) and Jesus Benavides (285). Roberto Rodriguez (195) went 2-0 and JaTwon Morrison was 1-2.

Rockies coach visits OwensColorado Rockies bench coach Tom

Runnells was on the campus of Owens Community College yesterday evening to

speak with the Owens baseball team.Runnells was brought to campus with

the help of Owens Community College President, Dr. Mike Bower, and Runnells’ wife, Chrys Peterson, the former lead an-chor for WTOL-11 in Toledo.

Runnells spoke about his time as a walk on with the University of Northen Colorado, his time as an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco Giants, play-ing within the Cincinnati Reds organiza-tion, and his various experiences managing and coaching within the minor and major leagues.

Runnells’ main speaking points were the importance of character, having fun while playing the game, working hard and winning as a team.

“Coach Runnells was very down to earth as he spoke with our guys,” said Owens baseball coach John Parisho. “We are very pleased to have had the opportu-nity to have him on campus and we are greatly appreciative of Dr. Bower’s efforts, as well as Chrys Peterson’s.”

Parisho also added that Owens Community College is looking forward to continuing a relationship between Coach Runnells and the baseball program. The 2015 Owens baseball team opens its season March 7 in Orlando, Fla. (— By Kylie Reynolds/Owens Sports Information)

Mario Rizo is, in his own words, “a bench press only guy.”

Rizo, 39, a 1994 Clay graduate who still resides in Oregon, has competed in powerlifting meets about twice a year for the last four years. On Dec. 5, at the Buckeye Winter Classic in Columbus, Rizo set state, American and world records in the bench press for his age group (33-39) and weight class (182-198 pounds) in the Raw Division.

He said he does not compete in the deadlift and squat during powerlifting meets because of previous issues with his back, so the bench press is Rizo’s spe-cialty. He benched 446 pounds in the Raw Division at the Buckeye Winter Classic, which was a drug-tested event. He did not use a bench press shirt en route to winning the Best Lifter Award.

“The record for my age and weight was around 410 pounds,” Rizo said. “I got that on my fi rst attempt and got 446 pounds on

1994 Clay grad qualifi es for national powerlifting eventmy second attempt. I would have never guessed I was ever capable of doing some-thing like that. We’ve done a lot of training and done (lifting) programs we’ve seen on-line. One of key things I did was a (Smolov Jr.) training routine that is pretty intense, especially for a bench-press guy. It’s a three-week workout that basically takes you into a meet. My partners and I used that program, and I have to credit my gains with that program.”

Rizo said he did not initially go into the meet expecting to break any American or world bench-press records.

“When you go into something like that, you look to see where you’re at,” he said. “At the time, I knew I was knocking on the door. I wanted to get a meet under my belt. After doing the Smolov Jr. routine, my bench went up. I had a good feeling I could com-pete at that level. I told (my partners) ‘I’m feeling good. I’m going to go for this record.’

“I didn’t want just fi rst place, I want-ed to get my name in there. Breaking the American record was a big deal. Breaking the world record was the cherry on top. I set a record where people from Canada,

Russia, Jamaica, Singapore, Great Britain – now they’re all trying to break my record.”

Two other Oregon natives and Rizo’s training partners, Joe Upham and Chico Cloyne, competed at the Buckeye Winter Classic in all three lifts.

Upham, 39, competing in the 220-pound division, took second in his age and weight group with a three-lift to-tal of 1,325 pounds. He had a 350-pound bench, 550 deadlift and 425 squat. Cloyne competed in the 220-pound weight class in the full power junior division and had a 530 squat, 385 bench and 540 deadlift for a 1,455-pound total.

Rizo, Upham and Cloyne will compete at the American Powerlifting Association Raw Nationals on April 18 in Defuniak Springs, Fla., near Tallahassee.

“If I do well enough there, me and my partner (Upham) will get an invite for a world invitational in Germany,” Rizo said. “I’m in training right now where I’m go-ing for a 500-pound raw bench press in the drug-tested division. If I had to do this to-morrow, I would probably open with a 430 bench, then go to 470 and go for 500.”

The three Oregon lifters were coached by Desert Storm veteran Mike Burgess of Oregon; they train at the Maumee Bay Barbell gym, which is located at the Maumee Bay Turf Center in Oregon.

“That’s where we started out,” Rizo said. “We all work, so our schedules come into play. Our coach, Mike Burgess, has an attached two-car garage at his house with equipment, so we fl oated back and forth from there to Maumee Bay Turf. Even some of the high school kids started kind of fol-lowing us. (Tuesday) night we trained a couple kids who are starting to get the (powerlifting) itch.”

Rizo said he and his lifting partners are trying to get more local youths interested in powerlifting.

“They’re interested, and we like that,” Rizo said. “We want to give back to the kids. I wish this was available to me when I was a kid. In our area right now it’s starting to catch a little bit of wind behind it, and we hope it takes off and we can do something with it. We want to get more kids involved so they can come out and train and get more people involved in the powerlifting world.”

A lot has happened in the life of former Waite basketball standout Shareese Ulis since the last time she donned an Indians’ jersey.

Her surname isn’t Ulis anymore, it’s McBrayer. Now 25, she and her husband, Christopher, were married in August 2011 and they have a 2-year-old son, Cason. Shareese said she and Christopher plan to hold off having any more children for the time being.

“Having a big family was never in the plan,’ she said. “I really only wanted two kids.”

When her last name was Ulis, the 5-foot-7 point guard spent four years giving rival City League foes fi ts. She was a three-time CL Player of the Year before gradu-ating from Waite in 2007. As a senior she led coach Manny May’s Indians to a third straight CL title and a No. 3 ranking in the Division I state poll.

McBrayer is one of just three girls to score more than 1,000 points at Waite, fi n-ishing with 1,211. She was the school’s all-time leading scorer when she graduated, but All-America center Natasha Howard surpassed her before moving on to play at Florida State University.

McBrayer said her four years at Waite helped mold her into the person she is to-day.

“What stands out the most, not even from a basketball aspect, was the commit-ment and love I got from our coaching staff — coach May and coach (Alto) King and coach (Gardner) Howard,” she said. “The people in my family, we weren’t education oriented. Only one other person in our fam-ily graduated from college.”

McBrayer’s cousin, James Ulis, gradu-ated from the University of Findlay after playing at Libbey. James’ son, Tyler, is now playing 20 minutes a game as a guard for top-ranked Kentucky.

“James was always a person I could call and talk to about school, because I

didn’t have anybody else,” McBrayer said. “He would always call me or text me about what was going on in my life.”

She added that the people closest to her at Waite cared about her more than just a basketball player.

“That was the one thing I appreciated about Waite,” McBrayer said. “They cared about me as a person, and basketball came second. I had people around me who were pushing me to become better as a person. Those people invested all their time into me. To help them turn that program around was amazing. They put me in that situation to become the player that I was.”

McBrayer played point guard for two years at Trinity Valley Junior College in Athens, Texas. She moved on to the University of Cincinnati, where she was a two-year starter for the Bearcats from 2009-2011.

“I did have somewhat of a good career there,” McBrayer said. “I had a lot of inju-

ries. I had surgery on both knees my senior year. I was in a wheelchair for a week and a half. I don’t have cartilage in my knees, and my kneecap was off center. They went in and cleaned it out. I had to have shots so I could fi nish out my season.”

McBrayer said she averaged 12 points and fi ve assists as a junior, then averaged around 15 points and fi ve assists as a se-nior, earning honorable mention All-Big East honors.

“Considering my (injury) situation, I had a good career there,” she said.

McBrayer graduated with a bachelors’ degree in sociology in 2011, then moved back to Toledo to become an assistant coach at Start High School for the 2011-12 season. A year later she was an assistant at Waite, for the 2012-13 season, and the idea of coaching full time was in her blood.

“Basketball is just easy to me,” McBrayer said. “It’s something I can just look at and pick apart and fi gure stuff out.

After I graduated, I thought (coaching) was something I could do. I like helping kids get better at basketball and teaching the game. After I went to Waite (as an assistant), I de-cided I wanted to coach at the college level.”

May, now in his 17th season at Waite, basically saw Shareese as another assistant coach during her playing days. He saw how she could relate to her peers, both younger and older, and how she understood what the coaching staff needed from her.

“She’s a hard worker,” May said. “When she had a challenge, she worked on her game to get better than other kids. She worked tirelessly on her ability to be a point guard and a defender. She led by example on the court and off the court. Her mind was always in the game. I felt she was going to be a coach by the way she commanded the fl oor, the way she got her teammates to do certain things for her. She was one of the toughest players I’ve ever coached.”

McBrayer served as an assistant coach at Moberly (Mo.) Area Community College last year, helping the Greyhounds fi nish 21-7.

“That was the job I took as a stepping stone to Division I,” she said. “The biggest thing I learned was how to adapt to differ-ent people and different personalities. In this profession, I won’t always work with people who have the same ideas as I have. The toughest thing was the distance. I left my husband and son behind, but the coach-ing was pretty smooth. It was a good expe-rience at the collegiate level.”

McBrayer was named a gradu-ate assistant under head coach Autumn Rademacher at the University of Detroit Mercy in August. She commutes to the campus every day from Toledo, and she is taking classes to work toward a masters de-gree in criminal justice.

“I was job searching because I want-ed to get closer to home,” McBrayer said. “I saw a job opening and just emailed the head coach. One of the assistants (Ke’Sha Blanton) is from Toledo. We’re in a tough conference, but the experience is great. I can’t complain. I hope one day I will be heading my own program.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Angels Need Our Help

Life sometimes seems like a battle, both in the

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

more significant ones. In the battle of good over

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

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

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

make matters worse, the ‘bad guys’ sometimes

seem to have better marketing. Evil can look very

attractive, while virtue and goodness look like the

proverbial ‘homely stepchild’ that nobody wants.

We really do need to join the struggle and give the

angels some help. Think of all the unresolved

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

illiteracy, and myriad forms of injustice. We should

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

in this struggle, as we should be ready and willing

to help the angels as they fight the glorious fight.

God wants and needs our help in this fight, and

every good act that we do makes the world a better

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

evil day comes, you will be able to resist the

enemy’s attacks. Good News Bible Ephesians

Twenty years of training and just under 20 months remaining. That is the mindset Oak Harbor native J.D. Bergman is carrying with him as he continues his journey on the wrestling trail in the hopes that he can qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Bergman, a 2003 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, will return home on Feb. 7 to speak before the community at the high school. The first part of the event, which will be held in the cafeteria at 1 p.m., is a chicken barbecue lunch that costs $10. Bergman’s speech will be held from 2-3 p.m. in the auditorium and costs $15. The cost of attending both events is $20. Proceeds go directly to Bergman’s Road to Rio fund to help him on his journey to the Olympics. Bergman will discuss his Olympic journey and give a world-class health talk on wellness. “It will be a chance for people to hear the truth about their body and their health that you just don’t hear in our culture,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to have the oppor-tunity to speak all across North America and I’m very excited to come home to share with the people of Northwest Ohio, espe-cially at Oak Harbor High School.” Bergman promises to inspire and notes that the event is family-friendly. Bergman, 30, has added a new passion: health and wellness. A self-described recovering food ad-dict, Bergman is gaining a greater apprecia-tion for eating healthy and being conscious of what he puts into his body. He also be-lieves there is great importance in relieving stresses and looks at things from the men-tal side of preventative health and well-ness from a holistic approach. Bergman has learned how to get his body to function ef-fi ciently and stay healthy and maintain that level of health as opposed to what many of us do, which is not really think about our health until faced with a crisis. “In the fall of 2012, everything pointed to me not wrestling anymore,” Bergman said, recalling a time shortly after he had missed out on qualifying for the London Olympics by just one spot. “I had gained 20 pounds in two weeks — I was binging on food and was thinking of retiring and moving into the real world, exploring acting, television and public speaking. I was then invited to stay with my good friend, Dr. Michael Banman, and his wife and six kids for three weeks in Kelowna, British Columbia. With basically no agenda outside of seeking direction in life, I was surprised at what came from that experience. The plan I left Canada with and

implemented can only be explained if you consider it was given to me by God. “Then I got serious about my nutri-tion and I changed my training. I took three months off and let my body heal. I re-vamped my way of life and refocused and God gave me the focus to do so. To make that possible, He made it clear that I should take three months off and get healthy, and in that exact window, I was able to be part of the fi lm, Foxcatcher. Now, I have more en-ergy and less pain. Winning the U.S. Open was a direct result of the plan God gave me in Canada that I executed to live healthy. Now you think, everything is healed, and I tore a disc in my back in January, 2014. (But) I healed faster than ever because I was eating healthier.”

Down with junk food Now, Bergman wants to take his knowl-edge on health and wellness and pass it on to others. “The reason I’m a health and wellness speaker is because I think God has helped me to relate to people,” he said. “Americans are food addicts and I’m a recovering food addict. We love pizza, ice cream, and (oth-

er kinds of junk food) and there’s a chemi-cal additive with the sugar in our brains. I have to make sure I’m putting the highest fuel grade into my body. That’s why I’m passionate about this — I want moms and dads to give their kids food that fuels them. I want people to get very healthy and make changes on the front end. (That means) less allergies, less headaches, less hospital bills and a higher quality of life.” But for Bergman, a devout Christian, it’s more than just taking care of your body. It’s about having the proper mindset. “Ultimately, you can be as healthy as you want, but if you don’t really know Christ -- you’ve got to understand he’s in control of everything,” he said. “There’s some grace in the process. It’s about trying to do the best you can.” Most recently, Bergman, who just re-turned from Colorado Springs, where he was wrestling against some of his team-mates at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, won the Gold Medal at the Brazil Cup in November. Oddly enough, the event was held in Rio, where Bergman, one of the best wrestlers in the world, hopes to return next year as an Olympian.

Next month, he’ll compete in Cuba and then travel to Turkey in March. Earlier in 2014, he fi nished third at both the U.S. World Team Trials and the U.S. Open, events that he won the year before. His banner year might have been 2010 when he won the U.S. Open and the U.S. World Team Trials for the fi rst time and was named the Wrestler of the Year by USA Wrestling. Those are just some of Bergman’s ac-complishments. Currently ranked third in the country at 97 kilograms, Bergman has experienced success at some presti-gious tournaments. He was the Ziolkowski International champion in ‘12, fi nished third in the Yasar Dogu International competition in ‘11 and was second in the Alexander Medved International in ‘10. Collegiately, he was a three-time All-American and fi nished second at the 2008 NCAA Division I championships as a mem-ber of the Ohio State wrestling team. After graduating from OSU in ‘08, Bergman left with 129 career victories, which at the time were the sixth most in the program’s his-tory and he was one of only 16 Buckeyes to reach the century mark in career wins. In high school, Bergman was a two-time state champion and accumulated an 85-0 record during his fi nal two years as a Rocket. He was a force on the football fi eld as well, earning All-Ohio honors in Division III as a fi rst-team running back in 2002 while leading Oak Harbor to a Sandusky Bay Conference title and an ap-pearance in the regional semifi nals. Bergman’s presentation follows a Sandusky Bay Conference super tri wres-tling meet that begins at 10 a.m. on Feb. 7. Participating are Oak Harbor, Perkins, Port Clinton and Sandusky St. Mary. “Unlike many Olympic sports, USA wrestling does not offer large sponsorship dollars to Olympic hopefuls,” Oak Harbor athletic director Drew Grahl emailed The Press. “For the most part, Olympic wres-tlers are tasked with funding their own Olympic dream.” Tickets for the meal and Bergman’s speech are available in the main offi ce at Oak Harbor High School or at the Rocket Shop in Oak Harbor.

Pictured left to right – Andy Levine, President at DCI; Jamie Beier-Grant, Director at OCIC; Barry Matherly, President-Elect at IEDC.

Yvonne Thoma-Patton has been named executive director of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. Thoma-Patton is The CPR Training Center Coordinator at Owens Community College. She is also a runner and has orga-nized numerous races as well as other com-munity events including the 2014 Oregon Health and Welfare Christmas Basket pro-gram. Her goals for the chamber are to increase mem-bership, encour-age residents to utilize local busi-nesses and pro-mote the area’s natural resources and tourism. “Many board members have worked with her or know Yvonne from various activities in our area. We know Yvonne will bring her pas-sion for healthy living and her ability to bring people together to our business com-munity too,” said Brad Fisher, chamber president. “Even if she makes us all start running with her, we know Yvonne can save us,” said Fisher, referring to 2007 when Thoma-Patton administered CPR to a heart attack victim and saved her life at the Oregon Senior Center. She was recognized by the Safety Council of Northwest Ohio for her heroism. Thoma-Patton holds a B.S. in health and humans services from The University of Toledo. “I love where I live and am excited to make it even better. We have a thriving business community as well as easy access to special places like Maumee Bay State Park and Pearson Metropark. There are many things that make this region a great place to live, work, raise a family or retire” said Thoma-Patton.

40th Anniversary A lot can change in 40 years. If you were a member of Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union in 1975 you would have banked at Paul Calhoun’s school desk drawer in the offi ces of the Port Clinton school district. Today, members of Commodore Perry can bank with either of two branches located in Port Clinton and Oak Harbor and several ATMs in the com-munity, according to a company spokesper-son. Membership has grown from just teachers in the Port Clinton school district to include anyone who lives, works, volun-teers or worships in Ottawa County. Commodore Perry also has a history of providing community service. The credit union operates a fi nancial literacy pro-gram at Oak Harbor High School in which students learn how to manage money and develop banking skills and an after school program at Oak Harbor Middle School in which students learn basic money manage-ment skills, confi dence, and critical think-ing skills.

Gold stars Several Elmwood Senior Communities were awarded defi ciency-free status from the Ohio Department of Health-Division of Quality Assurance when it conducted its annual Residential Care Facility Licensure reviews.

Chamber gets executive director

Yvonne Thoma-Patton

The centers included: Elmwood Assisted Living at The Springs/East cam-pus in Green Springs, Elmwood Assisted Living & Skilled Nursing of Fremont, and Elmwood Assisted Living in Tiffi n. Residential care facilities in Ohio re-ceive at least one unannounced survey in-spection during a 9 to 15 month cycle. The Ohio Department of Health surveyors grade nursing care, dietary requirements, cleanli-ness and support services.

Jamie Beier-Grant, director of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, has been selected as a winner in the eco-nomic development profession’s 40 Under 40 awards. A fi ve-member selection committee chose the winners from a pool of more than 157 candidates. The award’s program is managed by Development Counsellors International (DCI), a New York-based fi rm specializing in economic development marketing. Since joining the OCIC in 2004, Beier-Grant has leveraged $25 million in fi -nancing and incentives to support new project investments of $775+ million, including investments by Davis Besse, Fenner Dunlop, Materion-Brush, Inc., and Northern Manufacturing, and the creation of more than 500 jobs, according to OCIC president Jim Stouffer. At the clubs The East Toledo Club will tour the L. Hollingworth School for the Talented & Gifted Thursday, Feb. 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The charter school last year completed renovations of the former Jobst building at 653 Miami Street which was purchased for $307,744, according to the Lucas County auditor records. The school, which had been located at the former Sacred Heart School on Sixth Street, opened in the fall. Enrollment has grown from just under 100 students in grades K-6 to a projected 330 students for the coming school year up to the ninth grade. The public is invited, but reservations are required.

The City of Oregon intends to make application to the Ohio Development Services

Agency (ODSA) Office of Community Development to access approximately $40 million

of funding available under the PY2015 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

Small Cities Program, a federally-funded program administered by the State of Ohio.

The City is eligible for approximately $75,000 of CDBG Community Development

Allocation Program funds; up to $300,000 each for three competitive set-aside programs:

Downtown Revitalization, Neighborhood Revitalization, and Critical Infrastructure

Investment; and up to $400,000 of CHIP funding, providing the City meets applicable pro-

gram requirements.

CDBG Community Development funding requests from eligible entities are due to the City

Finance Department by March 20, 2015. Projects will be reviewed, ranked, and selected

based on: compliance with a CDBG National Objective; inclusion in the City of Oregon

Community Assessment & Strategy (CAS); application completeness; number of benefi-

ciaries served; and number of previous awards. The City’s Community Development

application to ODSA is due June 26, 2015.

The City of Oregon may apply for funding under the following programs:

Community Development Program

Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP)

Economic Development & Public Infrastructure Program

Discretionary Grant Program

Fair Housing-New Horizons Fair Housing Assistance Program

Residential Public Infrastructure Grant Program

Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDs (HOPWA) Program

Supportive Housing, Homeless Crisis Response, & Housing Assistance Grant Programs

And Any/New Programs Announced Under the CDBG, HOME, and OHTF Programs

The first of the required two public hearings for this comprehensive grant program will be

convened in the City of Oregon Municipal Building Council Chambers, 5330 Seaman

Road, Oregon, Ohio 43616, an ADA-accessible facility. The hearing shall commence at

about the CDBG program, including an explanation of eligible activities and program

requirements. In addition, a training session on the federal fair housing law will immedi-

ately follow the public hearing.

The CDBG program can fund a broad range of activities, including: economic develop-

ment projects; street improvements; water supply, drainage and sanitary sewer improve-

ments; park acquisitions and improvements; demolition of unsafe structures; rehabilita-

tion of housing and neighborhood facilities. The activities must be designed to meet one

of the CDBG National Objectives to primarily benefit low and moderate income persons,

or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or meet an urgent need of the

community, and also comply with the applicable Program Objectives as outlined in the

Ohio Consolidated Plan.

Citizens are encouraged to attend this public hearing to provide input on the City of

Oregon’s CDBG program. Should any participant require auxiliary aids due to disability

or non-English languages, please contact this office at least one week prior to the hear-
