Ottawa County Health contract for inmates switching to Erie County By Larry Limpf News Editor [email protected] After years of contracting with the Ottawa County Health Department for health care service for inmates at the county jail, Ottawa County sheriff Steve Levorchick has decided to contract with the Erie County Health Department for the service. A one-year contract agreement with Erie County was presented to the Ottawa County commissioners Thursday, the sher- iff said, adding he expected the commis- sioners to support it. He said the new contract is a better deal for tax payers and will also lower the county’s liability exposure. Prior to last November, sheriff’s depu- ties distributed medications to inmates - a practice the sheriff didn’t like. “That’s something I always thought needed to be changed and the Ottawa County Health Department stepped up and helped us by having their nurses pass the meds for us,” the sheriff said. “This year, I wanted to broaden our nursing services in the jail so I put bid specifications out to the Ottawa and Erie counties health de- partments. The day before the specification date, the director of the Ottawa County de- partment told me they couldn’t meet the specifications without hiring four more part-time nurses. So they bowed out and that left Erie County.” Nurses from the Erie County depart- ment started working in the jail on April 1. “We’ve gone from four med passes to three a day; every one done by the nurses. We now have a nurse in the jail from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and they come back for the 6 p.m. med pass every day of the year. We used to not have nursing on weekends and holi- days,” sheriff Levorchick said. He said the cost is a little higher but the coverage is almost double compared to prior service from the Ottawa County de- partment. The cost of the extra coverage is partially offset by Erie County charging $3.50 less per hour for nursing services. In addition, by having nurses instead of deputies administering medications, the county is less likely to face a lawsuit in the

ObituaryJames T. Weaver

February 12, 1946 - March 19, 2020James T. Weaver, 74, of Genoa, Ohio, died Thursday, March 19, 2020

Garbage pickup

By Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

A community meal program in the Village of Gibsonburg is being expanded to seven days, the village administration and council has announced. A program currently in place at The Outreach Center, 200 E. Madison St., on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday is expand-ing by four more days at several eating es-tablishments in the village. The center is based at Trinity United Methodist Church. Marc Glotzbecker, village administra-tor, said churches in the area started the meal program and several donors have re-cently provided funding to provide meals the rest of the week. “It’s designed for individuals and fam-

Gibsonburg: Community meal program expandingilies in the Gibsonburg community who are defi nitely in need of some help right now,” he said. “It helps people in the community while at the same time makes an effort to help our local businesses that are struggling right now. We have enough sponsor mon-ey to help them out through the end of the month. Beyond that we will have to reas-sess.” Free meals will be available on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to individuals and families at Pisanello’s, Kate and Al’s, Hungry Bear Diner and the Subway outlet in the village. Those needing meals should contact the restaurants by phone between noon and 2 p.m. to place orders, with the exception of Pisanello’s, which is asking for calls to start at 4 p.m. Callers should state that the order is for the “community meals program.”

Phone numbers and the days that the eateries are participating are:-Monday: Pisanello’s – 419-637-2107-Tuesday: Kate and Al’s – 419-637-7326-Thursday: Hungry Bear Diner – 419-637-7300-Saturday: Gibsonburg Subway – 419-637-3061 Meal choices will be limited to the “special” each restaurant will be offering on its day. The restaurant will advise call-ers what time to pick up orders and patrons are asked to maintain social distancing and other health advisory guidelines. Those re-ceiving meals may be asked for proof of res-idency. Although the service is available for free to those needing meals, tipping at each establishment would be appreciated. Drive-through dinner service for those

in need will continue at The Outreach Center on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Orders should be placed by 3 p.m. The email address is [email protected] and the phone number is 419-637-2159. Limited delivery service is available and should be requested when placing or-ders. The meal program will continue through April for the Outreach Center and restaurants.

Tax deadline extended The City of Oregon is extending the April 15 tax-fi ling deadline to July 15, giving people more time to prepare and pay their taxes due to COVID-19.

A resolution declaring a state of emer-gency in Lake Township due to the corona-virus pandemic has been approved by the township trustees. The resolution says emergency man-agement measures may be required to ex-pedite actions deemed necessary for the safety of township residents. It gives the township administrator the authority to is-sue orders pertaining to the use of public facilities and services. State law allows township boards of trustees to assign duties under a board’s control to an administrator, the resolution says. The state of emergency will be in ef-fect for three months unless an emergency declared by Gov, Mike DeWine and the di-rector of the Ohio Department of Health is lifted before then.

Trustees declare state of emergency In a related resolution, the trustees au-thorized an additional $2 per hour to part-time and full-time employees as hazardous duty pay. The hazard pay will go to all non-salaried township employees and be in effect from March 16 to April 26. “Some of our employees have extra expenses because schools are being closed. Most importantly, this job we just can’t do from home,” Mark Hummer, police chief/administrator, said. “We’re glad that many people can do their jobs from home so we can get through this very trying time. But we need to be here.” In other business, the trustees ap-proved the purchase of a new pumper engine for the fi re department to replace one extensively damaged in an accident in December. The new vehicle is being purchased from United Fire Apparatus Corp., Cridersville, O., at a cost of $307,118. Hummer said the township’s insurer agreed to pay $259,200 for the old vehicle,

which is being sold by bid for $10,000 to American Enterprises, Oregon. He said the parties had been in negoti-ations since the accident over whether the old vehicle could be repaired and put back into use. “In talking with the fi re chief and board, we really did not want a vehicle with a bent frame being put back in service. They carry 750 gallons of water, fi ve people and a lot of equipment. If anything would go wrong it would come back to the acci-dent,” Hummer said. “Repairing that truck was never really an option for us. It made more sense for us to get a new pumper that has a higher capacity pump and can carry more water.” Editor’s note: The township trustees were informed Thursday by the solicitor that the resolution declaring a state of emergency won’t go into effect because it wasn’t passed unanimously. Trustee Ken Gilsdorf voted against it and trustees Richard Welling and Jeff Pettit voted for it.

“ Anticipation over receiving federal economic stimulus payments has left some area residents vulnerable to scammers, said Ron Craig, Lake Township crime prevention offi cer. Scammers are trying to get personal information by promising to get the money to recipients sooner. Stimulus checks are being handled solely by the Internal Revenue Service, which is a division of the United States Treasury Department. “The federal government is not authorizing anyone to assist people with these payments. Period. So if you get a call or an email from someone who tells you he or she can help you get your payment sooner, it’s a scam,” offi cer Craig noted. The only priority being given in the sending of payments is for those that the federal government already has their proper banding information on fi le. Others will need to wait on a check in the mail. “According to information I have gleaned from the IRS website, those people

Stimulus checks are spawning scams

who have already fi led income tax returns for either 2018 or 2019 and had a refund sent to them via direct bank deposit. The IRS will use that banking information to send the payment to you,” Craig said. “If you have changed banks or have closed an account to which tax refunds have been sent, you will need to get updated

information to the IRS unless you want to wait for the check in the mail. Taxpayers who haven’t fi led a 2018 or 2019 federal income tax return or did not get a refund by direct deposit, may want to contact the IRS through its website, www.irs.gov. The IRS is asking those with questions to not contact the agency by phone. “It is unknown at this time if contacting the IRS through its website will be in time to get the payment via direct deposit. What is known, however, is that if someone besides the IRS tells you they can assist you in getting the updated information to the IRS, don’t fall for it,” Craig said. “If you get Social Security payments sent to you via direct bank deposits and you receive a Form SSA-1099 at the beginning of each year showing how much Social Security you received the previous year, the IRS will use that banking information to send your stimulus payment. This is true whether or not you have fi led tax returns for 2018 or 2019.”

The federal government is not

authorizing anyone to assist people with

these payments. Period.

Charges suspended Columbia Gas of Ohio will contin-ue suspending late payment charges until June 1. Additionally, Columbia Gas has voluntarily suspended shutoffs for nonpayment and is offering fl exible payment plans to customers who indi-cate either an impact or hardship as a result of COVID-19. Columbia offers a variety of op-tions to help customers manage their billing and payment including: · Flexible payment plans – Plans that spread the balance due across multiple months · Suspended late payment charges un-til June 1, 2020. Columbia Gas will con-tinue to assess the need to extend this deadline · Budget Plan billing - A program that allows customers to pay about the same amount each month, and calculate that amount based on usage, weather and projected costs Customers are urged to reach out to Columbia Gas at the fi rst sign they may have trouble paying their bill, so the company can work with them. Customers may qualify for assis-tance for a number of services. The CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act has allocated additional funding to programs like the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program and the Community Services Block Grant to help support income qualifi ed customers. These programs can help individ-uals and families cover costs related to energy bills, employment, educa-tion, transportation, food, housing and more. Customers with questions can call 1-800-344-4077.

OregonFest postponed The OregonFest Committee has postponed “OregonFest 2020 – Past, Present, Future,” due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The committee is working on mak-ing plans to have an OregonFest in late summer or early fall so long as the health of the community has stabilized by then. All OregonFest related events that were scheduled for the third week-end of May have been canceled, in-cluding the business fair, and parade.

“What if one of my deputies gave the wrong med and someone died? Now it’s the responsibility of the health department and not on us,” the sheriff said. He has also changed the pharmaceu-tical company providing the medications and contracted with I.C.P., of Tiffi n. “Now every pill for every inmate is individually packaged. Prior to now, if we got an inmate who stayed for three days but we got a 30-day prescription for him, we would have to throw 27 days worth of medicine away. Now, since they are pre-packaged and sealed we can return them and get a credit. So there will be a cost savings,” sheriff Levorchick said. The contract with I.C.P., which also provides medications for the Erie County Jail, went into effect April 1. The sheriff said he toured the Erie County Jail last year with his staff and personnel from the Ottawa County Health Department to observe the nursing services at work. “We were extremely impressed,” he said. He’s also decided to contract with the Erie County Board of Health for physician services.

DowntownFremont Inc. receives grant Rural LISC Creative Placemaking Initiative will bring funding to Downtown Fremont Inc. to help assist the Great Eastern Theatre-Paramount Cinema and boost the Downtown Revitalization Historic District. The grant focuses on cultivating cre-ative small business development and sup-porting local artists. The $10,212 in fund-ing will be used for the renovation of the theatre’s marquee sign ($8,000) and bench-es and artist stipends ($2,212). Three artistic benches will be designed by local businesses that specialize in met-al design. Once completed, the benches will be painted by commissioned local art-ists and/or students from Bishop Hoffman Catholic Schools and Fremont Ross High School art clubs to convey a visual message of what the downtown is and has to offer. The partnership among Great Eastern Theatre-Paramount Cinema, Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) and Downtown Fremont Inc. is an example of three different organizations working to-gether for the betterment of the communi-ty, according to Susan Frye, Administrative & Marketing Coordinator, Downtown Fremont Inc. “GLCAP was an important partner for writing the grant, with Great Eastern Theatre-Paramount Cinema having the

Wear cloth masks Gov. Mike DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Dr. Amy Acton, MD, MPH, last weekend urged Ohioans to begin wearing cloth masks while in public, as recom-mended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC recommended that citizens wear face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are diffi cult to maintain, especially in areas of signifi cant community-based transmis-sion. “In many cultures around the world, wearing a mask is just part of the culture - it is a socially accepted act of kindness,” said Governor DeWine. “Wearing a mask should not scare people. It is a good thing. It is a considerate thing. It is a courageous thing.” Wearing a mask will not prevent some-one from contracting COVID-19, but it can help prevent them from spreading it to oth-ers -- especially if they have it, but are not yet showing symptoms. Wearing a cloth mask in public is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended. Cloth masks are not a substitute for social distancing, but rather, it is a complement to social distancing. Guidance on how to make a home-made mask can be found on coronavirus.ohio.gov. Medical supply masks, such as N95 respirators, must be reserved for healthcare

workers, fi rst responders, and those who are known to be sick. Anyone with person-al protective equipment who would like to donate to frontline workers can visit coro-navirus.ohio.gov.

COVID-19 suppliesneeded in Lucas Co. In response to the COVID-19 pandem-ic, Lucas County Emergency Management has secured a warehouse to collect, orga-nize, and distribute essential supplies for the community. The resources collected will be distrib-uted to front line organizations, including fi rst responders, including medical, fi re, and police, and nonprofi ts, such as home-less shelters. All resources collected will stay in Lucas County and support opera-tions in our community.

Supplies needed include: Hard goods: bleach, temporal ther-mometers, hand sanitizer, spray bottles, paper towels, cleaning towels, toilet paper, cleaning wipes, deodorant soap, shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, hygiene wipes, baby diapers and incontinence supplies. PPE: N95 masks, gloves, gowns, surgi-cal masks, face shields, goggles, PPE kits, disposable scrubs and traction socks. Arrangements for donations can be made by emailing [email protected]. Volunteers are also needed.

Sunday Worship:Pastor Robert Noble

I M Wnspirational essage of the eek: Be Proactive Not Pro-anxiousBeing proactive entails creating or controlling a situation by

causing something to happen rather than waiting for it to

happen and then reacting to it. In this context,“proactive”is

usually contrasted with “reactive,” and we are often open to

the criticism that we should be more proactive. Knowing

that your car is having problems, the proactive response

would be to make the repairs ahead of time rather than

waiting for your car to break down on the side of the road.

When thinking about the future, it is common for us to worry

about events that may or may not happen, and thus we are

often “pro-anxious,”when we might be proactive. Anxiety

can serve a useful purpose in our lives; it has been aptly

described as an alarm which warns us of danger. When we

have legitimate anxieties, it is like the smoke alarm telling

us that something is burning, but when we have anxiety

over nothing, that is like the false alarm when nothing is on

fire. When the anxieties are real, it is best to be proactive.

When there is nothing we can do about the situation, the

biblical advice to “not worry about tomorrow”is appropriate.

When there is something we can and should do, we should

follow the advice given in Proverbs, and be like the ant who

stores up its food for the winter. “Go to the ant, you

sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no

commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions

in summer and gathers its food at harvest” Proverbs 6:6-8

Park Districtstresses safety To the editor: Gov. Mike DeWine has stated that parks remaining open are im-portant as an outlet to allow citizens the opportunity to get some fresh air and exer-cise during this time. We consider our parks to be essential infrastructure and we consider select staff-ing an essential government function as de-fi ned in the Ohio Director of Health’s stay at home order. As Northwest Ohio has had the return of spring weather, Park District staff have numerous essential responsibilities that need to be performed. Park District de-partment heads have established lists of responsibilities that have been deemed es-sential tasks which must be completed in order to keep the parks safe and accessible for public use. Staff will be limited to performing only those tasks that are deemed essential dur-ing this time. It is important to stress a number of items included in the order of the Director of Health. First and foremost, park visitors as well as Park District em-ployees must comply with social distanc-ing requirements. In order to keep parks open and accessible for public use, peo-ple need to make sure they are keeping a minimum of six feet between themselves and others. Park District staff has also been alert-ed to refrain from entering normal shared areas such as lunchrooms and shared of-fi ces, keeping all activities in areas that are large enough to meet social distanc-ing requirements. Frequent hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer is required as possible. Any sick employees are to stay home and notify their supervisor. Employees are to remain home until they are free of fever without the use of medi-cation for at least 72 hours and symptoms have improved for at least 72 hours and at least seven days have passed since symp-toms fi rst began. Please abide by the safe distancing guidelines and enjoy your time in your Wood County parks.Neil A. MungerDirector, Wood County Park District

A show of supportTo the editor: During this time of uncer-tainty and anxiety, I am asking people to join me in turning on their porch lights at night. Let’s do this in support and apprecia-tion of Gov. Mike DeWine, Dr. Amy Acton, and Lt. Gov. Jon Husted for their leadership during this time. I ask you to turn them on for all of our medical personnel and fi rst responders who are putting themselves in danger to take care of us, as well as for all the people who are still working to make sure we have our needs met. I am also urging people to follow the guidelines to stop the spread of this virus, so we can return to normal as soon as the experts tell us we are safe to do so.

Each one of us has to do our part, not only to protect ourselves, but to protect ev-eryone else, especially the ones we love. So, join me Ohio in turning on your porch lights in support and appreciation and to say, together we can we will.Kim KruseOregon

Wood Co. reports fi rst deaths Two Wood County residents who were being treated for COVID-19 have died. The deceased individuals included a woman in her 80s, and a man in his 60s with underlying health conditions. No additional information will be provided in order to pro-tect personal privacy. “Our hearts go out to these people’s fam-ily and friends. We can only imagine how diffi cult this must be for them,” said Wood County Health Commissioner Ben Batey. “I also want to extend sympathy toward every-one who is fi ghting this illness and who’s been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.” “We know COVID-19 is going to con-tinue having signifi cant impacts on our communities, in Wood County and across our state and nation. This is an unfortunate reminder of how serious of a threat this vi-rus is, and why it’s so important that people stay home as much as possible and follow the other public health guidance to prevent COVID-19 from spreading.” As of Wednesday, April 8, 40 cases of COVID-19 had been confi rmed in Wood County. These are the fi rst Wood County residents known to have died due to coro-navirus. The virus is believed to be present in many areas, even if only a few COVID-19 cases have been confi rmed. Updated lo-cal statistics are available at www.WoodCountyHealth.org. Batey urges all Ohioans to pay attention for potential COVID-19 symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath. Call be-fore visiting your health care provider’s of-

fi ce so they can take steps to protect other patients, and put on a mask before you enter the facility. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe. Most healthy people recover but need to be isolated from others while they are contagious. Severe illness is more likely in older people and people with com-

promised immune systems or underlying medical conditions. If you are sick, stay at home and isolate yourself from other people until you have experienced no symptoms for at least 72 hours, and at least seven days have passed since symptoms started. Members of your household should also stay home.

For information on COVID-19 includ-ing ways you can prepare and help protect the health of yourself and others, visit www.coronavirus.ohio.gov or call 1-833-4-ASK-ODH (1-833-427-5634). Information and re-sources are also available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.coronavirus.gov.

Sew far, sew good!Folks at the Oregon Senior Center are working hard making masks for seniors in the community who need them (proper social distancing applies, of course). Pictured are Elroy Metzger, center director Paula Benton and Ann Menter. “We just started this week and the demand is very high,” said Cassi Sutter, OSC Outreach Coordinator. “We also have a few seniors making them at home and bringing them to the center to distribute.” Seniors who need a mask may call 419-698-7078.

As the time goes by during which we stay home due to the coronavirus pan-demic, the likelihood of incidents of child abuse may very well spike. Tempers can fl are as we get tired of being cooped up in our abodes, and the pent-up energy in our kids can lead to the release of more than their normal amounts of rambunctious natures. Parents who have already had enough of their own stress may then lash out that their youngsters. When you add this to work, fi nancial and health stresses parents may be experi-encing, it can make matters even worse. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, so now is the perfect time to focus on these issues. If you fi nd yourself snapping at the kids during these trying times, take a deep breath before you act. Leave the room to re-gain your composure There are things you can do to help prevent these situations from arising. First, try to keep things as normal as possible by sticking to at least some of your typical routines. Make a plan for the day that includes adequate time for the children to eat breakfast and to complete their school work. Plan a lunch break, and this will mimic their usual pattern of going to school. Allow time for some supervised out-door play to give the kids an opportunity to release their energy. Take part in their play-time activities – it can be good for both you and your children. Planning a good late-afternoon or ear-ly-evening meal should always be part of your daily plan. Sit down as a family for the meal and talk about what has happened

that day. Ask the kids if there is something special they would like to do the next day and try to incorporate those ideas into the plan, if possible. If the kids’ ideas are not feasible, honestly explain to them why. Stick to your normal bedtimes. Just be-cause there is no physical school to attend the next day is no reason to let kids stay up later at night. The same goes for parents. Getting the proper amount of sleep at the appropriate times can help keep tem-pers in check. If you follow these steps and the kids still seem to get on your nerves, see if grand-parents or other trusted adults can step in to take care of the kids for a few hours. This can allow you time to “hit the reset button” and get back to the routine. If you know of incidents of child abuse that are occurring, please report them to your local Children’s Protective Services agency or to your local law enforcement agency. This article is a public service from the Crime Prevention Division of the Lake Township Police Department. Township residents may obtain further information on crime prevention and public safety top-ics by contacting Ron Craig, crime preven-tion specialist/community policing offi cer, at 419-481-6354.

The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) announced on April 1 that Social Security benefi ciaries who are not typically required to fi le tax returns will not need to fi le an abbreviated tax return to receive an economic impact payment. The IRS will use the information on the Form SSA-1099 to generate $1,200 economic impact pay-ments to Social Security benefi ciaries who did not fi le tax returns in 2018 or 2019. Treasury, not Social Security, will make automatic payments to Social Security ben-efi ciaries. Benefi ciaries will receive these payments by direct deposit or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their Social Security benefi ts. For updates from the IRS, visit www.irs.gov/coronavirus.

TeleHealth appointments Fremont-based Community Health Services (CHS) is now offering TeleHealth medical and behavioral health appoint-ments. This service provides patients access to their medical or behavioral health pro-vider via telephone from the comfort of their home. CHS developed this option in response to growing concerns about exposure to COVID-19 – including patients’ hesitation to see their provider and providing the saf-est possible environment for patients and staff. Through this new program, patients can complete an appointment via telephone for issues such as routine visits for chronic health conditions, prescription refi ll, sick visits, and re-checks. While some appoint-ments can’t be completed via TeleHealth, the vast majority can be managed through this program. Behavioral Health patients can schedule sessions with their counselor via telephone. New patients are welcome. No one is turned away due to insurance or ability to pay. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 419-334-3869 or visit www.CHSOhio.com.

Reporting child abuse Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine noted that since Ohio’s stay at home order began on March 22, Ohio has seen approximately a 50 percent drop in child abuse and ne-glect cases because those who typically re-port suspicions of abuse, such as teachers, coaches, childcare providers, and school counselors and nurses, aren’t seeing chil-dren every day. DeWine urged anyone suspecting abuse or neglect to call 855-OH-CHILD.

For the fi rst time in program history, the Lake club hockey team won the Northwest Hockey Conference White Division playoff championship. Lake fi nished 23-2, sharing the regular season title with Sylvania Southview. After splitting regular season games, Lake defeat-ed the Cougars 6-3 in the playoff fi nal. Lake’s only two losses were to Southview, 4-3, during the regular season and to NHC Red Division team Anthony Wayne, 7-0. Lake won the Cleveland Rock ‘N Roll Tournament, defeating the Corning Hurricanes from New York three times, 5-1, 6-2 and 4-1, the Buffalo Stars, 14-1, and the Webster Cyclones 6-1. Lake coach Craig Horvath was impressed with his team’s win but is looking to upgrade the schedule. “We played well down there, but we are always looking for better competition,” Horvath said. “The thing that bothers me is I don’t like to talk about how great a year we had when the competition is just not there this year. “It’s just a great group of kids. You hate to brag and say that we’re 23-2 but it’s the competition. I think we might have learned something as coaches this year for

Lake hockey wins fi rst White Division championshipnext year, and that is we need to sub out, get out of our area, and play (lines differ-ently).” Lake also won the Spartans Cup in Lansing, Michigan with a 5-0 win over the Traverse City West Prep North Stars, 7-2 win over Elyria and 8-2 win over the Soo Major Titans from Ontario. The team had three players who attend Lake — Colton Lowe, Kreig Boisselle and Michael Tolles. Tolles fi nished the season with 15 goals and 23 assists, Boisselle had 17 goals and 12 assists and Lowe had seven goals and 11 assists. Tolles says it was an extraordinary season. “My season with Lake has been great. We have fun every game and every practice we go out and work hard. There’s nothing bad about playing for Lake. It’s just that it’s fun to be around,” said Tolles, a second team all-NHC White Division defenseman. Tolles, a sophomore, said it was when Lake defeated Southview, 7-3, early in the season that he knew his team was going to have a good season. Southview has been White Division runner-up two of the last three years. “Our fi rst win against Southview — that was a big win for us. That really showed us during our season that we had something to work for,” Tolles said. Also playing for Lake was starting goal-ie Logan Urbanyi (Northwood) who also had four assists when not in goal. Others

included Nick Rombach (Woodmore, seven goals, two assists), Ray Wagner (Cardinal Stritch, 20 goals, 40 assists, second team All-White Division defenseman), Griffi n Hales (Clay, 17 goals, 18 assists) and Ben Loomis (Genoa, six goals, six assists). Loomis, a freshman, got hurt during Lake’s 8-1 White Division playoff semifi nal win over Clay, which was diffi cult for his father, Brian Loomis, the game’s scorekeep-er. One year earlier Ben had been playing bantam hockey, which has no checking, to varsity hockey, which does allow checking. “That kid will be OK. He’s just got to get a little stronger,” Lake assistant coach Ron Kenney, a Genoa resident, said. “He’s always in the right spot, he does the right things, and that’s a positional player with-out question.” Leading the team in scoring was Wauseon senior Chase Soltis with 61 goals and 43 assists, and his younger brother Clay Soltis had 33 goals and 28 assists. Combined the Soltis brothers accounted for 165 points in one season. Chase was voted the White Division Player of the Year and was a fi rst team White Division forward. The playoff win over Clay was a physi-cal game that saw 26 penalties, four ejec-tions and another player removed because he reached the penalty limit. Chase showed off his uncanny skills while scoring on a penalty shot. He fi nished that game with a

hat trick, plus he had two assists. “Some of the goals that Chase scored were like amazing,” said Kenney. “His eye-hand coordination is excellent. He’s quite a player, that kid. On that penalty shot, he almost lost the puck, but he got it back.” Horvath added, “Chase had 76 goals last year. It was unbelievable, and he’s over 60 this year. He’s way up there. In the two years that he’s played with us he’s put a lot of goals up there and his brother Clay does very well, also. We’ll lose (Chase) but his brother is pretty darn good. They’re fun to watch” Chase and Clay scored two goals apiece in the White Division championship win over Southview, plus Chase had two assists as the brothers accounted for six points in that game. There were four players from Northwest Ohio Athletic Conference schools, including one each from Patrick Henry (Jardine Henry) and Archbold (Zoey Tuckerman). “Owen Jardine (15 goals, 27 assists) is just another kid who just kind of brings it all. Ray Wagner, a Stritch kid, also brings it,” Horvath continued. Jardine and Clay’s Cory Krieger were voted second team All-White Division forwards. Clay hockey player Alex Taylor was voted the Dunn Sportsperson Award, named for early NHC commissioner and Bowling Green Bobcat advocate Marvin Dunn, who died in 2018.

Toledo Walleye forward Josh Kestner has been named to the All-East Coast Hockey League fi rst team for the 2019-2020 season.

He becomes just the third Walleye player to ever fi nish on the fi rst team.

The native of Huntsville, Alabama is the fi rst player in Toledo ECHL history to lead the league in scoring for a season with 73 points (33 goals, 40 assists) over 58 games played.

Kestner fi nished the year as the league leader in goals with 33 and he fi nished sec-ond among all players in shots on goal with 212. He joins Shane Berschbach (2015-2016) and J.C. Sawyer (2009-2010) as the only other Walleye players to land on the ECHL fi rst team.

Kestner took home ECHL Player of the Week honors for the fi rst week of January and the last week of February during the season. The 26-year-old was remarkably consistent during the campaign fi nishing

Walleye’s Kestner named fi rst team pickwith at least one point in 46 of his 58 games played.

Kestner had the two longest Walleye point streaks of this season, an 11 game run from October 19 at Fort Wayne through November 16 at Newfoundland and a nine game streak from December 21 at Indy through January 12 vs. Wheeling.

Twice he reached 16 points in a month with six goals and 10 assists in November and seven goals plus nine assists in January.

Walleye goaltender Billy Christopoulos has been named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team. The 26-year-old fi nished the sea-son with a league best .932 save per-centage, while posting a 24-3-3 record. Christopoulos had a 2.29 goals against average this season which fi nished as the sixth best in the ECHL while his 24 wins was third most.

Twice during the campaign he was honored by the league, fi rst as goaltender of the week for February 17-23 when he went

2-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .977 SVP. The sec-ond came as Goaltender of the Month with a 5-1-1 over seven starts in February with a sparkling 1.82 goals against average and a .947 save percentage.

Christopoulos is the sixth Walleye player ever to land on the ECHL All-Rookie Team joining: Tylor and Tyson Spink (2016-2017), Tyler Barnes (2014-2015), Andy Bohmbach (2010-2011) and Maxime Tanguay (2009-2010).
