Oregon City Council approved a $19.8 million budget for next year, slightly more than 2014’s budget of $18.4 million. “We believe with this budget, we can maintain Oregon’s tradition of a high lev-el of services for our residents,” said City Administrator Mike Beazley. The city will continue its $1 million road improvement program that was in the 2014 budget. “It’s so important, in terms of quality of life for our residents and from an economic development prospective,” he said. The city will also continue upgrading Navarre Avenue. “It is our main street. It’s an impor-tant investment in our future, as we go for-ward,” said Beazley. In addition, upgrades will be made to capital equipment, some of it as the result of a harsh winter earlier this year, he said. “Some of that investment stems from some of the high costs and wear and tear that came from a very tough winter,” said
Oregon
Council approves budget for 2015Beazley. The biggest expense next year will be for police, fi re and EMS services, which to-tal $10,301,898. Other capital costs will ensure the city is energy effi cient, he added. “We’ve all discussed at length that Oregon’s revenue tends to be cyclical more than most communities like us. In good times, we do invest in our plant and equip-ment to make sure we’re prepared for the future. We think these investments will al-low us to continue to operate effi ciently, and in many cases, lower our costs of op-erations,” he said. Expenses improving recreational proj-ects, such as the city’s bike trail, are also included in the budget. “We’ve provided for investment in the continued enhancement of our recre-ation program, continued enhancement of our bike trail, a multi-purpose trail with the start of engineering and phase 1 of our north-south connector that will make it easier for our residents to get to our parks and schools,” he said. “We also have invested in an access analysis for our lakefront, something our
council and mayor believe we can do better at,” he said. “The only change from an operations side worth noting is we are going to add two staff positions to our public service de-partment. They’re part of the effort to deal with all our capital projects and enhanced service needs. We probably have more proj-ects underway than at any time in the city’s history – water plant, sewer plant, changes associated with Oregon Clean Energy, our major streets programs, water and sewer lines replacement, and to buildings and grounds. We have a lot of balls in the air, and we got to make sure we have personnel in place to meet those needs so we don’t just talk about the projects, but get things done,” he said. “We feel good about what this budget does,” he added. “We want to emphasize to the public a budget is always a plan to spend. The world changes during the year. I think this council has demonstrated the fl exibility to deal with these things and react to changes and circumstances. This budget is a responsible step forward as we go forward.”

A rural Oak Harbor man is facing a felony operating a vehicle while impaired charge after his Dec. 13 arrest. Authorities say this is the sixth time Steven Ontko, 42, Portage River South Road, has been picked up for the violation. Ontko spent the rest of the weekend in the Ottawa County Detention Facility af-ter his arrest shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday in the driveway of his home. He appeared Monday in Ottawa County Municipal Court. Following his hearing, he was re-leased on a $10,130 cash bond, according to detention facility records. Ontko is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 22. The charge is a third degree felony, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Offi ce. Ontko has fi ve previous OVI convic-tions, occurring in 1995, 1998, 2002, 2003 and 2004, records show. According to sheriff’s report, sheriff’s Deputy John Carpenter was traveling east on Portage River South Road when he spot-ted a Ford pickup approaching in the on-coming lane. He watched the truck swerve off the north side of the road, with both front and back tires leaving the roadway and heading slightly down a grassy grade. The driver then corrected the vehicle back onto the road but then crossed the yellow center line, entering the deputy’s lane. The driver corrected again and swerved back into the westbound lane and turned the truck into a driveway. The deputy turned his vehicle around and headed for the driveway, where he found the pickup parked, still running and Ontko sitting in the driver’s seat, according to the report. Ontko, who was talking on the phone, would not acknowledge the deputy, the re-port states. The deputy then tapped on the window of the driver’s door. Ontko told him to wait because he was on the phone. The deputy told him to hang up the phone and Ontko responded by motioning for him to move away from the truck. During this time, the deputy saw an open pack of

He told Ontko to hang up the phone and get out of the car. He did. Carpenter asked Ontko if he knew why he was being stopped. He said “no.” The deputy noted in the report Ontko smelled of an intoxicating bev-erage, had blood shot eyes, slurred speech and his movements were un-steady. When asked if he had been drink-ing, Ontko would not answer. Then Carpenter asked how much he had been drinking that day. Ontko an-swered, “Enough.” That’s when Carpenter told Ontko he believed he was operating a mo-tor vehicle impaired. Ontko told the deputy he couldn’t do anything to him because he was in his driveway. He claimed the deputy had to stop him on the road to enforce the law. Carpenter tried to give Ontko a so-briety test but he refused. He was then taken to the detention facility where he was charged.

City council approves budget for 2015 He said council members will hold committee hearings for further discussions on the recreation program, as well as the city’s two cemeteries, and the long term needs of the fi re department. “I think we’re continuing to invest re-sponsibly, including the rotation of police and fi re vehicles and plows. We are leaving some things that we really want to focus on during the year to lengthier hearings,” he said. Councilman Terry Reeves, chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee, will hold hearings during the year to dis-
cuss the city’s recreation program and “make some decisions that will allow us to continue to improve the way we meet the needs of our residents.” Councilman James Seaman, who is chairman of the city’s Finance Committee, said he was pleased with the new budget. “When this whole budget process begins, Mr. Beazley is faced with a lot of things on a wish list from the various de-partment heads and he does a good job of working with them to make sure the most necessary things are in their budget. The administration has done a very good job building consensus with all these depart-
ment heads, and getting shared equipment across various departments so citizens get a really good bang for their buck,” said Seaman. He was also pleased with the multi purpose bike path on Starr Extension. “It will help people who sometimes have a hard time getting around. They will, for instance, be able to use their wheel chairs to get out to the games a lot easier. All in all, I appreciate all the work the ad-ministration and committee members have done to produce a very workable budget for the citizens of Oregon.”

The Eastwood school board Monday approved a resolution to participate in the Ohio School Facilities Commission program – a step that will formally allow the district to receive state funds for the construction of a new elementary school building. The board’s resolution will be consid-ered during the OSFC’s January meeting and then submitted to the state controlling board for fi nal approval, Dave Michel, the school district’s treasurer, said. The board plans to use revenues from a tax abatement agreement with The Home Depot and public utility taxes from a Troy Energy plant to cover most of the district’s share of construction costs. Michel said the district will pay $12.45
Eastwood board moves closer to building projectmillion for the project. Of that, $1.45 mil-lion will come from the district’s general fund to cover what are called local funding initiatives not covered by the OSFC, which is expected to provide approximately $7 million for the project. To fund the balance of its share, the school district will issue $11 million in bonds, backed by revenues from the Troy Energy and Home Depot agreements. Michel said the district has an agree-ment with 5/3 Securities for underwriting the issue. The school board had voted in June to place a bond levy request on the bal-lot to pay for its share. But after getting an opinion from the OSFC the district could use revenues from the abatement agree-ment and utility taxes for the project, board members decided to proceed without seek-ing a levy for additional tax revenues.
That decision, while saving property owners in the district from additional tax-es, upset some residents who contend the building project should be decided at the ballot box. Two previous tax issues to help pay for a new school were defeated at the polls. Three residents, Karl Offerman and Eileen and Victor Schuerman fi led a law-suit last month in Wood County Common Pleas Court to obtain administration re-cords, including emails of Brent Welker, district superintendent, and the email ad-dresses of residents receiving his commu-nity newsletter. Michel said the administration has been contacted by several residents not wanting their email addresses to be released. The school board met in executive ses-sion Monday to discuss pending litigation, according to the meeting agenda.
Daniel Tomanski, an ASE Master Automobile Technician from Walbridge, was recently honored with a national achievement award as the Chrysler/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year according to a spokesman for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Tomanski was one of 47 automotive professionals recognized in November at an event held in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The ASE annual awards spotlight top scorers on the ASE Certifi cation Tests from among the ranks of the more than 300,000 ASE-certifi ed professionals nationwide. Ted Hayes, owner, Hayes Automotive; Glenn Dahl, chairman of the ASE Board of Directors; and Timothy Zilke, ASE president & CEO, presented the award to Tomanski. “Dan is one of the outstanding ASE-certifi ed professionals recognized annually by different segments of the automotive ser-vice and repair industry. Each of these elite technicians is presented with an industry-specifi c award recognizing their achieve-ment,” said Zilke in a prepared release. Tomanski is employed by Yark Automotive Group in Toledo. He has been a technician for 20 years. In addition to looking for top scores on ASE tests, award sponsors examine on-the-job excellence, community service and other factors when selecting honorees. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) was founded in 1972 as a non-profi t, independent organi-zation dedicated to improving the quality of automotive service and repair through voluntary testing and certifi cation of auto-motive professionals. More than 300,000 ASE-certifi ed automobile, truck, and col-lision repair technicians, and parts spe-cialists work in dealerships, independent shops, service stations, auto parts stores, fl eets, schools, and colleges across the na-tion.

Water evaluation State Rep. Michael Sheehy (D-Oregon) last week announced the approval of $548,900 in state funding to install 14 steam gages to monitor fl ood and water quality assessment data in various locations throughout the west-ern Lake Erie basin. Columbus-based US Geological Survey (USGS) will in-stall the gages and analyze their results on a regular basis. This summer, a harmful algal toxin contaminated Toledo’s drink-ing water supply, cutting off access to water for 400,000 people for three days. Following the Toledo Water Crisis, Reps. Sheehy and Patterson (D-Jefferson) introduced legislation to require the monitoring of the harmful toxin microcystin in Ohio’s public wa-ter systems. US Geological Survey has been chosen to lead this initiative because of its exclusive access to the National Water Information System (NWIS). The NWIS is a comprehensive and dis-tributed application that supports the acquisition, processing and long-term storage of national water data. Funding for this project was specifi cally ear-marked for USGS in both the federal grant application and the award from the US Environmental Protection Agency.

While the fate of a bill that would le-galize the use of consumer grade fi reworks in Ohio is unclear, one thing is certain; the bill drew ardent supporters and opponents during a hearing last week. The bill soared through the Ohio Senate like a bottle rocket shortly after be-ing introduced last month, but didn’t make it out of a House of Representatives com-mittee hearing last Wednesday – the legis-lature’s fi nal day in session of the year – for a fl oor vote. Current law requires consumer grade fi reworks purchased in Ohio to be trans-ported out of state within 48 hours of a pur-chase and prohibits their use in the state. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Dave Burke (R- Marysville), said it would refl ect major changes in the industry that have resulted in safer products and also enact a fee for the Ohio Fire Marshal’s offi ce to conduct train-ing programs and enforcement. When he introduced the bill, Sen. Burke, whose district covers seven coun-ties, including Sandusky and Seneca, said fi reworks use has risen more than 600 per-cent since 1976 while the injury rate has dropped; from 38.3 reported injuries per 100,000 pounds of fi reworks consumed to 6.1 injuries per 100,000 pounds in 2013. The bill would extend a general mora-torium on issuing licenses to fi reworks man-ufacturers and wholesalers until December 2018 but it eliminates a moratorium on the transfer of manufacturer and wholesaler li-censes beginning January 2016. The bill passed in the senate by a 22-7 vote on Dec. 9. Sen. Randy Gardner (R- Bowling Green) voted against it, saying he was con-cerned about the lack of deliberations. “The fi reworks bill is a substantive bill that just moved too fast through the Ohio Senate. I support efforts to allow and regu-late fi reworks in Ohio but only one pub-lic hearing where opponents can express their concerns was just not adequate for me,” Gardner said. “I heard from pediatri-cians and childrens’ hospitals and others who were concerned that not enough pub-lic input was provided on this bill. And, since most of the bill does not take effect until 2016, I believe there is plenty of time to work on this issue and get public input next year before actually enacting a new law.” Sen. Edna Brown (D – Toledo) voted for its passage. “Although I remain concerned about the use of fi reworks in urban areas, the abil-ity of local governments to establish laws against their use is why I supported the bill,” she said. A hearing before the House Health
Fireworks injury rates, revenues debated in the Houseand Aging Committee drew testimony from almost 20 persons, including Betty Montgomery, who chairs the board of di-rectors of Prevent Blindness. She challenged Burke’s data on the drop in injuries, noting a 2013 report by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission that there were 6.3 fi reworks injuries per 100,000 pounds of fi reworks imported in 2013. `”This is the highest level of injury per 100,000 pounds since the year 2000 and a 47 percent increase over 2012 injuries,” she said. Raechelle Laughlin, legal counsel for Phantom Fireworks, said the state’s fi re-works laws have largely gone unchanged for more than two decades but the industry has changed dramatically since then, “The consumer fi reworks industry rec-ognized the importance of bringing a safe,
quality product to market in 1991 when it created the American Fireworks Standards Laboratory and began testing the fi reworks at the factory level to their own conformity requirements,” she said. Besides Montgomery, a coalition of op-ponents included Lynda Bowers, a mem-ber of the board of trustees of the Ohio Township Association; Gary Smith, M.D. and member of the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics; Lt. Joe Posey, of the Central Ohio Fire Prevention Association, and others. In written testimony, Jim Bresnen, who described himself as a business profession-al and fi reworks hobbyist in Cincinnati, said Ohio would be aligning its laws with Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania by passing the bill. He said the bill would help keep rev-enue and taxes on fi reworks in Ohio.
Lake Township Fire Chief Bruce Moritz told The Press the Ohio Fire Chiefs Association was disappointed the bill went through the Senate so quickly. A member of the association’s legis-lative committee, he said he’d like any change in the law to ensure revenues gen-erated by a tax or fee reach local jurisdic-tions. “”We’re the ones fi ghting grass fi res or fi eld fi res and treating injuries from fi re-works,” he said. A procedural error inadvertently end-ed the House committee hearing before the bill could be formally referred to the full House for a vote. A spokesperson for Sen. Burke Thursday said the senator intends to rein-troduce the bill next year.

Lake Township trustees want more information about costs and staffi ng at the Wood County sheriff’s dispatching offi ce before deciding how to proceed with pro-viding emergency dispatching service for residents when a current service contract expires. After hearing a report Tuesday by Police Chief Mark Hummer on a proposal submitted by Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn, the trustees directed the chief to meet with Wood County commissioners to discuss county costs and personnel levels at the dispatching center in Bowling Green. The township’s service contract with LifeStar expires at the end of March 2015. In June, Sheriff Wasylyshyn submitted a proposal to provide the 24-hour service to the township for $65,210 a year plus a one-time “set-up” fee of $35,230 and $8,526 for software costs. Chief Hummer Tuesday said the sher-iff, at the chief’s request, submitted another proposal earlier this month. However, the second proposal was higher: $82,165 a year plus a set-up fee of $37,967 and an annual maintenance fee of $1,795. The chief questioned the accuracy of
Dispatching questions linger over sheriff’s proposal
township population fi gures and service call numbers on which the sheriff based his proposal. Richard Welling, a trustee, said it was “troubling” the proposed price would in-crease so much from the sheriff’s June quote. “I was under the impression he was go-ing to honor that (June) fi gure until the end of the year,” Welling said. Chief Hummer also questioned labor costs cited in the sheriff’s proposal. The sheriff has indicated he would add one full-time dispatcher to handle town-ship calls. With sheriff’s dispatchers be-ing paid $31.35 an hour, it would cost the county $5,267 a week to provide 24-hour
service (168 hours each week). Yearly costs would be $273,873. But in proposals by the sheriff to pro-vide service for the township, Village of Walbridge and City of Rossford the projected total annual cost just for dispatching person-nel is about $180,000, leaving a shortfall of about $94,000, the chief said. “I don’t know who is going to be paying that shortfall,” the chief said. “Are the com-missioners willing to subsidize it? We want to make sure we’re getting what we’re told. We need to make sure there are enough peo-ple down there to do the work. The sheriff has good people down there but no one has a crystal ball to know when dispatchers are needed.” The township’s current contract with LifeStar is for $262,000 a year and also covers the City of Rossford and Village of Walbridge. LifeStar employees use the town-ship’s facilities and the costs are apportioned among the three entities based on call vol-ume. Rossford offi cials decided recently to contract with the sheriff’s department start-ing next year. The city will pay the county $65,210 to cover yearly personnel costs and $40,000 for a set-up fee and $7,000 for soft-ware costs. Chief Hummer said the township ac-tually provides an average of 224 hours of
coverage per week by having additional LifeStar personnel on duty during busy periods. If the county were to provide 224 hours of weekly coverage for the town-ship, Rossford and Walbridge it would cost about $365,165 a year – leaving an even bigger shortfall from what the sheriff quoted. With questions of costs looming over the county proposal, he said the trust-ees should consider continuing to con-tract with LifeStar for just the township or possibly contracting with the City of Northwood, which has provided an esti-mate of $175,000 for one year. Citing call reports from 2013 and so far this year, Chief Hummer said the township has routinely had fewer calls than those for Rossford and questioned why the sheriff’s agreement with the city is lower than his proposal for the town-ship. Township Fire Chief Bruce Moritz told the trustees if the township con-tracted with the sheriff it would have to install hardware to augment the county’s dispatching signal, which isn’t strong enough to reach fi refi ghters’ personal pag-ers. One signal repeater would cost the township about $8,000, he said, adding it would be prudent to also have a back-up in place.

Oral history book available Just in time for holiday giving, a new volume of oral histories has been released by the “On Page and Stage” division of the Ottawa County Historical Society. The sixth in a series, the volume con-tains interviews of Ottawa County resi-dents, giving an account in their own words of their diverse occupations and pastimes. The cover features the iconic Ford Tri-Motor, the “Tin Goose,” a reference to the stories inside about the Island Airlines; and the volume’s storytellers also share tales about ice fi shing, peach farming, marinas, Camp Perry, old tractors, and a funeral home. Although Volume 1 is sold out, cop-ies remain of the others. The books are available for purchase for $15 each at Oak Harbor Hardware and the Oak Harbor and Elmore libraries. The On Page & Stage oral history com-mittee meets the second Tuesday of the month, typically at Ida Rupp Library, to discuss subjects to interview and to read interviews in progress. Lately, the group has focused on older buildings. The committee is searching for locations and welcomes suggestions about intriguing local landmarks, big or small. Contact Connie Cedoz, chairman at [email protected]; Martha Dykes, editor at [email protected] or any committee member. For more information, visit www.keep-ers.house.

How will you attain your goals? What is the best way to accomplish a specifi c ob-jective? Willpower is the answer. Success begins with a mindset of, “I will do this!” Success requires unshakable determination combined with a burning desire. Willpower is the force used to over-come obstacles, solve problems, and push through adversity. Willpower keeps you getting up when you stumble or fall. Willpower is a mental state. You can build and strengthen your willpower. Willpower is a willingness to do what-ever it takes. You will push through fatigue, frustration, and uncertainty. With will-power, failure is not an option. You will do whatever is necessary, for as long as nec-essary, until you are successful. You will change strategies when warranted. Willpower involves visualizing success before you start. In your mind you see your-self attaining your goal. You can feel the joy you will experience. You can imagine the satisfaction you will enjoy. Willpower is governed by your percep-tion. When you believe you will, you are right. Conversely, if you don’t think you can, you are also right. It’s your decision whether or not to harness the potency of
Harnessing your willpower offers great rewards
willpower. Willpower works whenever it is ap-plied. However, it is blocked by self-doubt. Giving something a try is not using will-power. Listening to naysayers diminishes willpower. Concern for what other people think of you thwarts willpower. Feeling drained and tired happens over time. Although willpower is unlimited, you must recharge on a regular basis. This is accomplished by connecting with other likeminded positive individuals, as well as reading, and watching motivational mate-rials about others who exhibit impressive willpower. Willpower is practiced and strength-ened by successfully accomplishing small tasks and then moving on to more challeng-ing ones. A good way to start is by fi nishing a project you have been putting off. Make a
decision to complete it and then fi nally go and do it. This builds confi dence while get-ting you moving in the right direction. Willpower is exhibited through pro-ductivity. Accomplishing goals builds mo-mentum to achieve even more. Keep your focus on your intended destination in order to avoid becoming sidetracked by irrelevant issues. Even with willpower, mistakes will be made. Learn from your mistakes while you continue to move forward. Adjust as nec-essary when a change in direction is war-ranted. As you progress and learn, you will acquire additional knowledge and experi-ence which may necessitate altering your strategy. With experience, you will be able to anticipate potential roadblocks. Take pro-active measures to avoid them rather than being surprised by their appearance. Even when you are caught by surprise, remember that there is a solution for every problem. Progress is always made one step at a time. It doesn’t matter how small each step may be. Continuously taking one step after another is what’s signifi cant. Keep track of, and recognize the progress you make. It’s easy to lose sight of how much progress you
have actually made. Don’t waste any time worrying. Worry is a useless activity which accomplishes nothing. Replace worry with action. Make contingency plans to handle unexpected events. Willpower emanates from your thoughts. You attract whatever you think about. Always concentrate on what you want to attract into your life rather than things you would like to avoid. All of your self-talk should always positively describe that which you will be accomplishing. Everyone has willpower, but not every-one uses it. You must fi rst believe you have willpower and then make a commitment to use it to reach your goals. Your willpower is especially useful when you feel down and out while confronting adversity. Your willpower is always there for you. You can harness it when needed.

By Timothy Karr
The death of the Internet is at hand. Sound familiar? That’s what Internet pioneer Robert Metcalfe predicted in 1995 when he wrote that spiraling demands on the fl edgling network would cause the Internet to “catastrophically collapse” by 1996. Metcalfe, of course, was dead wrong: The Internet is still chugging along, with a predicted 3 billion users by year’s end. Still, the Internet’s fate feels distinctly uncertain as 2014 draws to a close. At stake is whether the Internet remains a democrat-ic, user-powered network — or falls under the control of a few powerful entities. Here are the four Internet issues that played leading roles this year:
1. Net Neutrality Net Neutrality is hard-wired into the Internet as we know it. In a neutral network, users control their experience without their Internet service providers interfering, fi lter-ing, or censoring. This revolutionary princi-ple is under attack from the phone and cable companies that control access in the United States. In a court decision last January, Verizon successfully challenged the Federal Communications Commission’s ability to protect net neutrality, setting in motion a year-long effort to restore the agency’s au-thority. More than 4 million Americans, including President Barack Obama, have contacted the FCC, with the overwhelming majority demanding real net neutrality pro-tections. Watch for a decision on the matter as early as January 2015. Momentum is now swinging in favor of keeping the Internet open — thanks in large part to the forceful public response.
2. Consolidation The Internet is designed to function as a decentralized network — meaning that con-
Four ways 2014 was a pivotal year for the Internet
trol over information doesn’t fall into the hands of a few gatekeepers, but instead rests with everyone who goes online. This has enabled diverse voices to fl ourish. It’s amplifi ed the concerns of pro-testers from Ferguson to Hong Kong, given underrepresented communities a platform, and allowed startup businesses to reach mil-lions of new customers. What’s missing is choice among Internet-access providers: Too many com-munities can choose from only one or two. We need policies that will foster competi-tion, which in turn would lower costs, im-prove services, and ensure that no single company gains too much control over con-tent. This year, Comcast and AT&T are at-tempting to consolidate their control over all-things-Internet. Comcast, the largest U.S. cable company, wants to gobble up the sec-ond largest, Time Warner Cable. If regulators approve the Comcast merger, the company would become the only traditional cable provider available to nearly two-thirds of Americans. Meanwhile, AT&T wants to take over DIRECTV. It’s up to the FCC and the Justice Department to block these mergers, which would create colossal, monopoly-minded behemoths. The government’s blessing of these deals would teleport us back to a time when just a few media moguls controlled most public discourse.
3. Online Privacy In 2013, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden exposed mass spying programs
that violate our civil liberties. This whole-sale invasion of privacy has chilled free ex-pression online. There were signs of hope that 2014 would bring new legislation to rein in these government snooping powers. The USA Freedom Act, while imperfect, would have curtailed the NSA’s bulk collection of our phone records and required more oversight and transparency of its surveillance pro-grams. The Senate, however, voted not to con-sider the bill in November, leaving everyone at the mercy of an agency with a voracious appetite for data.
4. Community Networks With big Internet providers like Comcast gaining notoriety for dismal customer ser-vice, municipal broadband networks have gained traction everywhere from New York City to Monmouth, Oregon. It’s easy to see why: The big providers often refuse to build networks in low-in-come or rural communities where potential customers can’t afford to pay their sky-high rates.
The rise of homegrown Internet infra-structure has prompted industry lobby-ists to introduce state-level legislation to smother such efforts. There are at least 20 such statutes on the books. But in June, the FCC stepped in with a plan to preempt these state laws, giving communities the support they need to affordably connect more peo-ple. If you value free speech, keep an eye on these four issues as 2015 gets underway. To ensure an Internet that’s open, fast, secure, and affordable, contact the FCC, call your members of congress, and support efforts to build a network that works for everyone.

As I approached the maternity ward to see our fi rst grandchild, it occurred to me I had neglected to tell my son something im-portant about his fi rst few hours of father-hood. It was something I had done instinc-tively with each of my three children. And, something I saw him doing as I entered the room at Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center. This is what I should have told him: Hold your son close to you so he can feel your heart beat and smell your scent. Keep him warm. Touch him. Hold his hand. Make eye contact. Talk to him so he can become familiar with your voice and know it from others. Comfort him. Let him feel your strong arms around him. After all, imagine what he’s just been through. Ejected with force from a wet, warm safe haven, the only home he’s known, into a dry, cold world in which voices are no longer muted, lights are bright and, in those fi rst few hours and days, he will be taken from his father and mother to be weighed, poked, stuck and snipped. Turns out, my advice was not needed. He was doing all these things with his new-born son, Callen. And, he did one other bonding procedure that has become com-mon practice today—skin to skin touch, in which the father takes off his shirt and holds the baby on his chest. When I held my grandson for the fi rst time, it took me back to the birth of my three children. All by Caesarean section, the fi rst one an emergency. While their
mother was asleep from pain medication I was alone with our newborns. This quiet time had a profound effect on me, as it does on most fathers. Birth is truly a miracle and in my hands I held a tiny life, weak, and vulnerable, and dependent on me and their mother for that life. In that quiet time when I was bonding, I made one promise to each child: I will be an active father. I didn’t know when I was 28, when my eldest was born, exactly what
that meant, but I did know that it meant shared responsibility, shared quantity of parenting time and shared housework. It meant diaper changes, feedings, tak-ing the child to the pediatrician and, some-times, staying home and making chicken soup for a sick child because their mother couldn’t miss another day of work. It meant supporting their mother while she pursued her education and career. It meant doing housework, making dinner, hauling them to sports games and practices and visiting with school counselors and teachers. It also meant giving them opportuni-ties to make decisions, fostering indepen-dence, encouraging risks and pushing them to fi nish what they committed to do. It also meant taking them into the computer room, closing the door, disciplining them or sim-ply laying out the possible consequences for the actions they were considering. And, most rewarding, it meant helping them chase their dreams. Fatherhood doesn’t begin when a tod-dler can kick a soccer ball, it begins at con-ception. The bonding ritual at birth may seem inconsequential to some men, but studies have shown that fathers who forge a strong bond with their children deliver to society young men and women who com-mit less crime and abuse drugs and alcohol at a much lower rate than fathers who are not active in their children’s lives. These strong bonds also help children develop mentally, physically, socially and
psychologically. And, they also help ce-ment the relationship between spouses. Raising a child is not easy. The respon-sibility is great, and the price of doing it wrong can be signifi cant to the child, the parents and society, but for most fathers the rewards outweigh the risks. I thought of these things when I held my grandson, careful not to intrude too much into the space reserved for the boy I bonded with before his eyes opened and we started that all-too-short journey through childhood, the teen years, young adulthood and now his fatherhood. What you have read here is not a unique view of fatherhood. Many men be-lieve in sharing parenting responsibility with their spouse. We may not talk about it much, but we all have an innate desire to replace ourselves on this earth with a bet-ter man. It drives us to push our children, to critique their actions and to teach them good morals, life skills and a good work ethic. Those challenges are down the road for my son. Chemistry rules what he does now. Studies have shown that, just as mothers emit hormones that spur nurturing, fathers of newborns emit vasopressin, oxytocin prolactin and cortisol, hormones that spur the bonding process, encourage father-baby play and infl uence a father’s decision to stay home and protect his family.

Tipsy Tows available To help keep area roadways safer during the holiday season, AAA Northwest Ohio will offer Tipsy Tow service from 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20 through 6 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 4 While AAA encourages holiday party-goers to designate a driver if they plan to consume alcohol, the Tipsy Tow service is available to assist those who fi nd themselves in an impaired situation and need to get themselves and their vehicles home safely. To take advantage of Tipsy Tow, drivers should call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357), state that they need a “Tipsy Tow” and provide their name, home address, phone number and vehicle location. Tipsy Tow provides a one-way ride for drivers and their vehicles at no cost for up to 10 miles. Services will not be provided to motorists requesting a tow to another drink-ing establishment or to a destination other than their home. A tow to a hotel may be al-lowed if the motorist is, or plans to become, a guest. For trips longer than 10 miles, mo-torists can expect to be charged the towing company’s standard rate. According to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration, one alcohol-impaired death occurs every 45 minutes across the country, with alcohol impaired drivers contributing to one out of every three traffi c deaths.
Moms Project The Erie Shores Council of the Boy Scouts of America has announced the fi rst recipients of its annual Scout Moms award. The 2014 Scout Moms are Sarah Sulewski, of Perrysburg; Denise Grant Montgomery, of Deshler; Stefanie Semler, of Sylvania and Tammy Stahl, of Bradner. The Scout Moms were nominated by either an Erie Shores Council Scout or Scout Leader in May. Council judges then reviewed the list of nominees and selected the award re-cipients based on information shared in the nomination as well as other factors such as their commitment of time to Scouting, com-munity engagement, leadership, and scout-ing longevity. “As Scouts, we all know Scout moms are the greatest,” said Ed Caldwell, CEO of the Erie Shores Council. “Think about it – every den meeting led, patch sewed, ride provided, skinned knee doctored, dirty shirt washed, campout attended and advice dished out reinforces the point that Scouting wouldn’t exist without them, and we want to celebrate that each year with our Scout Moms awards.” Learn more about the awards and Scout Moms at www.scoutmoms.org. To learn more about Erie Shores Council, call 419-241-7293 or visit www.erieshorescouncil.org.

How do you encapsulate the basket-ball life of Cardinal Stritch Catholic se-nior Austin Adams in just a few hundred words?
How do you get the point across that, yes, he is a hoops junkie who plans to do everything he can to lead fi rst-year coach Jamie Kachmarik’s Cardinals to a Toledo Area Athletic Conference championship? Yes, he dreams of playing college basket-ball at the highest level, and yes, his nearly 6-foot-6 frame can jump higher than 95 per-cent of his peers in Northwest Ohio.
Adams, however, does have one major “fl aw.”
“One downfall to him is sometimes he’s too unselfi sh,” Kachmarik said. “I have to tell him to be more selfi sh and look to shoot more. He’s a total team guy who puts the team fi rst. He does whatever it takes to win.”
Case in point: Adams scored just nine points in Stritch’s 61-51 loss at Gibsonburg, but he still hauled in 20 rebounds in a game the Cardinals were still within striking dis-tance with minutes left.
“Every night he’s getting double-teamed and sometimes triple-teamed,” Kachmarik said. “He’s getting the best from everyone to stop him offensively. He knows how to fi nd the open guy to make our team better. It’s a pleasure coaching him.”
The loss to the Golden Bears is the only blemish on the Cardinals’ record (3-1) through Dec. 18. Stritch has wins over Maumee Valley (37-26), Fremont St. Joe (57-26) and Emmanuel Christian (56-38).
Adams is shooting 54 percent from the fi eld and averaging 17.3 points and 12.3 rebounds a game. He also has 12 assists, nine steals and fi ve blocked shots, and is Stritch’s lone double-fi gure scorer. Adams averaged 20.1 points and eight rebounds a game as a junior, when he scored a school-record 44 points in one game.
“I want to up my rebound (average) to at least double digits and get the points to around 22 or 23 a game,” Adams said. “It’s kind of hard in this league. When you’re a scorer, they usually use a box-and-one or double-team me. You have to do a lot of work on the offensive boards and at the de-fensive end. You’re always keyed on.”
Dave McWhinnie, in his 14th season as the head coach at Toledo Christian, has faced Adams eight times in the past three years. McWhinnie can throw the two tallest players in the TAAC — Jordan Adesi, who is 6-8, and 6-6 Joe Ochoa – at Adams de-fensively, but that doesn’t mean they will stop him.
“What makes Austin so tough is he’s so versatile,” McWhinnie said. “He can play inside and out. He’s developed his outside game quite a bit and has gotten stronger as he’s gotten older. He’s a really tough match-up. You need at least one and a half play-ers and sometimes two to slow him down, and even then sometimes that doesn’t work. Most kids his size can’t move like that, or jump like that or handle the ball. He’s really a unique player for our league, a different matchup than really anyone I’ve coached against.”
McWhinnie mentioned the jump-ing part of Adams’ game, and so does Kachmarik. Adams said he doesn’t know how many inches (feet?) he can get off the ground, but he can vividly recall his fi rst
Adams making opposing defenses cringe

in-game dunk, as a 6-1 freshman.“It was in a sectional game at Eastwood,
against Toledo Christian,” Adams said. “It was two-on-one and our guard kicked it up to me. It was straight up and straight down, something I had never done before. I was shaking and everything went blurry. It was a feeling I’ll always remember. I worked out every day after school my freshman year, and my personal goal was to be able to dunk. By mid-season as a freshman, I was (dunking) off two feet with two hands.”
Kachmarik said the Cardinals have several offensive sets designed to take ad-vantage of Adams’ athletic ability.
“Austin is (almost) 6-6, but he plays a lot taller because he can jump out of the gym,” Kachmarik said. “He has a quick fi rst step and he can elevate and shoot over guys. His athleticism allows him to defend a point guard all the way to the center. I’ve had him defend everyone. His length both-ers people.”
Adams, who turned 18 on Tuesday, gave up playing football years ago to con-centrate on refi ning his basketball skills.
“Anybody who has played basketball or any sport wants to play at the next lev-el,” he said. “I was blessed with a talent to
do this. I dropped all my other sports to fo-cus on this because I knew I could do some-thing with basketball and take it seriously. It takes a lot of work.”
Kachmarik, who has 16 years of college coaching experience, said Adams could play at the Division I level “if he shores up his game a little bit.” Kachmarik stressed that Adams is defi nitely not a player who will try to impress college scouts during games.
“He’s a tremendous kid,” Kachmarik said. “Off the court, there aren’t too many people better than him. He’s a terrifi c stu-dent (3.4 GPA) and a great leader, not only for our team but for the school in gener-al. He’s shown a lot of leadership for the school and for the senior class.”
College will have to wait, so Adams is doing everything he can to make this sea-son memorable for he and his teammates.
“Our goals are to win the TAAC, sec-tionals, districts,” he said. “I want to take this team as far as I can, and I want the team to take me as far as it can. We’re a different Stritch team and we can earn respect just as easy as anyone else. We’re here to com-pete, not just play the game. We have what it takes to be a winning team.”
Walleye have best record since 1995-96 season Last weekend, the Toledo Walleye fi nished one of the busiest weeks of the season by playing fi ve games. Tuesday, the Walleye scored twice in the third period to catch Gwinnett only to lose 4-3 in overtime. The next night Toledo went into Wheeling and Tyler Barnes netted the game-winning goal midway through the third period 4-2. The Kalamazoo Wings handed Toledo its fi rst shutout loss of the season 2-0 Friday night. The Walleye rebound-ed Saturday night with a pair of Justin Mercier goals in a 5-2 home win over the Wings. Sunday, Shane Berschbach scored late in overtime for Toledo to pick up a 5-4 win at Fort Wayne. Sunday’s win vaulted this Toledo team into history matching the 1995-96 Storm for the best record after 23 games of a season. That team was also 17-4-2 at this point of the season and dropped game number 24 to fall to 17-5-2. With a win on Tuesday, the Walleye would have the best 24 game record in Toledo ECHL history. History was written despite a 2-1 overtime loss last Tuesday. Toledo moved into a fi rst place tie with by collecting a point in a 2-1 overtime loss to Greenville inside the Huntington Center Tuesday. Toledo has an overall record of 17-4-2-1 on the season and is 8-2-2-1 at home. The 17-4-2-1 record for 37 points is the most points collected by a Toledo team through twenty four games in its history as a member of the ECHL. The previous high was 36 set by the 1995-96 Storm team that had a record of 17-5-2. “On the whole I am very happy with the point,” said Head Coach Derek Lalonde. “We managed their style of play much better in this game than we did in the fi rst meeting (6-3 loss).” Toledo would get the fi rst goal of the game at the 18:00 mark of the sec-ond period when Marek Tvrdon (6th) fi nished off a great pass from Tyler Barnes. Greenville tied the game at one when Sy Nutkevitch sent a one timer past Toledo goaltender Neil Conway at 4:15 of the third period. In the overtime, Josh Nichols took a pass for Greenville and raced in all alone and beat Conway to give Greenville the win. Twice during the busy week be-fore Tuesday's game, Toledo erased third period defi cits to pick up points. Both Tuesday and Sunday the Walleye trailed 3-1 going to the fi nal period. Tuesday, Gwinnett was able to beat Toledo in overtime while the Walleye collected the overtime win Sunday. Toledo is 3-4-1 when they trail after the fi rst two periods. Toledo won back to back games Saturday and Sunday each time reach-ing the fi ve goal mark. Twelve times this year Toledo has reached the fi ve goal mark and has a record of 12-0 when they hit fi ve. A sellout crowd of 7,495 was on hand Saturday night at the Huntington Center. It was the third sellout this year for the Walleye and the 51st in the his-tory of the Huntington Center.

When you go back to the days when Oak Harbor swim coach Andrea Sorg was a Rocket swimmer, her team was consistent-ly winning league titles and sending swim-mers to the state meet.
While that may be diffi cult to duplicate as coach, Sorg believes she can steer her program in a direction where performing better in the postseason and getting more swimmers to Canton is common once again.
After fi nishing second in the Sandusky Bay Conference last year, Oak Harbor re-turns a versatile group of talented swim-mers like Brooke Tice, Paige Priesman, Amber Lazenby, Taylor Byington and Tracy Hanf, among others, giving Sorg reason to be confi dent.
“I’d like to think we have a pretty good core that will advance to districts,” said Sorg, “and it’s not out of the question for an individual or a relay or two to get to state. I think it’s a year that we’re going to get back on track — getting kids back to state. We were getting kids back to state for several years. I’d like to think we’re headed back there, (but) I don’t like talking about state until that time.”
Dresser, versatile group lead Oak Harbor swimmersTice can be counted on to swim the 100
butterfl y and the 100 backstroke, although Sorg says she’s capable of swimming in nearly any event and doing well. Byington will swim the 100 and 200 freestyle events and Priesman, who burst onto the scene as a freshman last year, will likely swim the 200 individual medley and the 100 breast-stroke. Hanf, like Tice, can swim numerous events, but Sorg is hoping that Hanf can swim the butterfl y and 200 and 500 free. Lazenby also swims the 200 and 500 free.
Callie Brandt and Mary Gregilla provide depth in the distance events. Miki Blunt could swim the 100 breaststroke along with Priesman, and Abby Mizelle and Allison Schroeder should compete in the 50 free.
Kara Branum and Mackenzie Pluto should provide the team with valuable points on the diving board.
In all, there are 21 swimmers on the girls’ team, nine of which are seniors.
On the boys’ side, Ben Dresser, a state qualifi er two years ago, is hoping to get back to Canton in the 50 and 100 freestyle events.
If Dresser’s performance in last week’s event against Fostoria is any indication, he has a legitimate shot of getting out of districts this season. In the win over the Redmen, Dresser swam the 50 free in 23.6
seconds and the 100 free in 51.43 seconds. But Oak Harbor has more talent to offer
than Dresser. Despite losing several key swimmers
from last season, the Rockets return the ma-jority of its production.
In addition to Dresser, Oak Harbor has three other seniors, Isaac Bodnar, Ryan Decant and Nick Heintz. Bodnar swims a number of events, including the 200 free, the 100 butterfl y and the 100 backstroke, Decant has the potential to be a good swim-mer and will be an asset on the relays while Heintz is looking to fi nd his niche. Thus far, he has swum the 200 and 500 free and the 200 individual medley.
Sophomore Elijah Dombrowsky has the potential to be a good swimmer, not to mention the fact that he swims multiple events. So far, he’s swum the 100 breast-stroke, the 200 IM and the 50 free.
So far, Sorg is pleasantly surprised with the performance of Trevor Sievert and Zach Price, two swimmers that could prove to be valuable assets for the club later in the season.
“The fi rst two meets have been really good for (Price),” she said. “He’s stretched and grown and gained muscle. I’m looking forward to him swimming well this year. He and Trevor came out of nowhere and
swam well in their fi rst two meets.”All-Ohio diver Cooper Hicks will pro-
vide points on the diving board. Last season, the Rockets fi nished 4½
points out of second place in the Sandusky Bay Conference, so at least a repeat second place fi nish is not out of the question.
“It’s a team sport, but I look at it indi-vidually,” said Sorg, a 1999 graduate of Oak Harbor High School. “How are they train-ing? How are they doing? Are their times dropping? This is where you were, this is where you fi nished, and then it’s a good sea-son.
The majority of the boys’ team is young. Of the 17 swimmers, 12 are underclassmen, giving them hope for the future, too.
Combined with the 21 swimmers on the girls’ team, that gives the program 38 in all, a good sign, but Sorg says with those larger numbers come the challenge of get-ting each swimmer and diver the appropri-ate practice time.
Like the girls, the boys’ team has de-feated Norwalk and Fostoria in dual meets and have two major invites coming up. On Saturday, Oak Harbor competed at the Viking Invitational at Cleveland State University and the Subway Rocket Invite takes place on Jan. 9-10, one week before the Sandusky Bay Conference meet.
18 THE PRESS DECEMBER 22, 2014

Lake boys basketball coach Ryan Bowen would sit in the stands this fall and watch his son, Connor, on the football fi eld and pray that Connor and teammate Jared Rettig didn’t get injured.
Basketball season, after all, was right around the corner.
“Those are two special athletes,” Ryan said. “We would be hurting if we lost Connor. We have backups to Jared, but literally no backups for Connor. We run a read offense and we really don’t call out plays. Connor calls all of it. It literally all runs through him. We created that offense for him.”
Connor Bowen, a 6-foot senior point guard, has been playing for his father ever since he can remember. The four-year starter and the reigning Northern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year led the Flyers to a 21-2 record last season and a No. 6 ranking in the fi nal Associated Press Division II state poll.
Ryan Bowen, in his fi fth season, has a 71-20 record at Lake, with two conference championships. The Flyers were 2-0 heading into Thursday’s game at Eastwood, with wins over Northwood (94-31) and Fostoria (84-51).
The win at Fostoria was particularly memorable for Connor, who entered this season needing 28 points to become the second player in Lake history to reach 1,000 for his career. Mike Smith, who played for the Flyers in the 1980s, scored 1,112 career points. Now, Connor has a chance to catch that mark — the school’s boys basketball all-time career scoring record.
Connor said his dad told him how close he was to 1,000 points just before the

season started.“He says, ‘Hey, you’re 28 points away
from 1,000 points, but I didn’t comprehend it,” Connor said. “It’s a huge milestone and a big accomplishment. I never really thought about it. It’s never on my mind to be the top scorer. The main thing is the W.”
Connor scored 17 points in the opener against Northwood and fi nished with 22 against Fostoria. His 1,000th point came on a three-point play in the second quarter against the Redmen.
“Fostoria was super classy about it,” Ryan said. “They stopped the game. They have a new coach (J.T. Bates), and the whole team and his staff came out in the middle
of the fl oor and shook Connor’s hand and gave him the game ball. It was very classy of them to do that.”
Connor said he was “shocked” at the gesture.
“For them to do that was a class act, and it was awesome,” he said. “It was a relief. It was like, now let’s just go play the game.”
It’s no secret that Connor is the key ingredient in coach Bowen’s four-guard lineup. Last year Connor led the NBC in scoring, averaging 22.4 points a game, and assists (8.4). He also averaged 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 steals.
Connor said he expects to get more double teams from opponents this season, so he’s looking to get his teammates even more involved in the offense.
“Hopefully I can get my assists up and get my teammates opportunities to score,” he said. “Nothing is about (my) numbers. It’s always about the win. If nobody stops me and I can beat my guy and go, that’s what I’ll do. If Jared has a wide open three, Jared’s going to hit that three.”
Rettig, who is also a four-year starter, entered Thursday’s game just 82 points shy of 1,000. He has combined for 35 points in Lake’s fi rst two games.
Unfortunately, Jared’s younger brother, sophomore guard Jake Rettig, will have season-ending knee surgery this month. Jake was averaging 12 points in Lake’s fi rst two games.
“He hurt his knee in football and has a tear in his meniscus,” coach Bowen said. “He’s been playing with a big brace. The doctor said it’s going to get worse if he keeps playing on it. It’s just not getting better.”
Ryan said Jake’s replacement is “to be determined,” but the other starters are solid. Junior Brandyn Neal scored 12 points against Northwood and 15 against Fostoria,
where he went 4-for-4 from 3-point range.“Brandyn works his tail off and does
what he’s told,” coach Bowen said. “He’s a fantastic shooter. He can take it to the basket and can be a big, big boost for us. He’ll have to score more with Jake being out.”
Starting post player Todd Walters, a 6-3 senior and a three-year starter, doesn’t do a lot of scoring (10 points in two games), but he does everything else.
“He’s a hustler,” coach Bowen said. “He’s not a scorer but he’s been in that role since seventh grade. It’s hard to fi nd guys like that. He’s going to dive on the fl oor for balls and do all the little stuff. The secret to a team’s success is kids understanding their role, and Todd has been that way. He’s going to do what he can for our team to win.”
Juniors Adam Duncan and Drayton Williams also fi ll their roles well, said Bowen, who added that this team can be every bit as good as last year’s.
“When you have 95 percent of your scoring back, with kids who work hard, that’s a good recipe for success,” the coach said. “We can’t become complacent. Everyone in the area picked us to win the league, and that’s good. We preach every day that you’re going to get everybody’s best shot, so accept it and grind it out.”
Connor and his father realize this is the last season they’ll spend together in basketball, so they are trying to enjoy every moment they have together.
“It’s very emotional,” Connor said. “He’s been coaching me since I was really young. I know he has to yell at me if the team’s not going good. Not having that next year, my dad coaching me, it kind of stinks because I love having my dad as my coach. I’d love to go out with a league championship, and I’d love nothing more than to make a run in the playoffs. That’s the main goal.”
Jenna Kidd, a 5-foot-6 senior defender from Clay, has signed with the Owens Community College women’s soccer program.
Kidd becomes the fourth player to offi cially ink with the back-to-back Region XII champion women’s soccer program at Owens. She joins Lynzee Richardson (Napoleon), Kelsey Combs (Anthony Wayne) and Kaleigh Strausbaugh (Bowling Green).
Kidd was an honorable mention All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference and HM Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press selection as a senior. She helped lead Clay to an undefeated regular season and a TRAC championship with a 6-0-1 record in conference play.
The team’s season ended in the Division I district semifi nals with a 2-1 double overtime loss to league rival Notre Dame Academy, a team the Eagles defeated during the regular season. Clay fi nished 15-1-2 and ranked fourth in the state in the fi nal Associated Press poll of the season.
Kidd was coached by Scott Wamer at Clay, who has sent three players to Owens in the past two seasons. Those players are Megan Soncrant, Kendyl Christian and Abby Groll. All three players led Owens to a pair of Region XII tournament championships and national tournament appearances.
The Owens women’s soccer team fi nished 14-5-2 this past fall under the guidance of fi rst-year coach Kenny Hewitt, who led the team to its second straight appearance at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I national tournament. The team also captured its second straight Region XII tournament championship. (— Nick Huenefeld/Owens Sports Information)
Parrish returnsInternational League Hall of Famer
Larry Parrish will return as manager of the Toledo Mud Hens when the season opens April 9, 2015.
The 61-year-old two-time Major League All-Star led Toledo to a 69-74 (.483) record during the 2014 campaign, his fi rst year back to the Triple-A level after coaching in Single-A West Michigan in 2013. Parrish
Jenna Kidd fourth Eagle in two years to sign at OwensThe
PressBox
previously managed the Mud Hens from 2003 to 2006 and 2008 to 2010. He leads all Mud Hens skippers with 569 career wins, and was at the helm for the 2005-2006 back-to-back Governor's Cup titles.
Joining Parrish on the fi eld will be several familiar faces. Hitting Coach Leon "Bull" Durham returns for his 14th season with the Mud Hens. The 57-year-old was a two-time Major League All-Star as a member of the Chicago Cubs.
Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Mike Maroth will be the Mud Hens new pitching coach. Maroth, 39, played parts of six-seasons for the Tigers, and spent time in Toledo in 2001, 2002 and 2006. He has spent the past three seasons as pitching coach at Class A Lakeland.
Trainer Chris McDonald is back for his second season with the Hens. The BGSU graduate enters his 15th season with the Tigers organization. He spent eight years with the Double-A Erie Seawolves. In 2011 he was named Eastern League Trainer of the Year.
Hensville gets tax creditsThe Toledo Mud Hens learned that
they have been awarded nearly $4 million in Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits by the Ohio Development Services Agency. The money is for the Hensville project to rehabilitate three structures on St. Clair Street in the Warehouse District in downtown Toledo.
"This is the news we've been waiting to hear," Joe Napoli, president and general manager of the Toledo Mud Hens and Toledo Walleye said. "We've had our fi ngers crossed and now we're ready to move forward. This is a great way to end 2014 and begin 2015."
The Hensville project will renovate and rehabilitate three buildings that have stood vacant on St. Clair Street for decades.
The estimated cost of the project is $18.8 million.
The buildings at 3, 9 and 28 St. Clair Street will provide additional retail, restaurant, event, and offi ce space. Outside the buildings, upgrades to the streetscape and creation of a new park will provide space for community events.
The Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit assists private developers in rehabilitating old buildings while protecting the historic integrity of the structures.
"These projects transform vacant and underutilized properties into viable places for business and living," said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency. "This program has been a valuable tool for community revitalization."
Napoli says this project has been a true community effort with excellent support from the city, the county and local businesses including ProMedica.
"Lathrop Co., LISC, Thomas Porter

Architects, the Downtown Warehouse District, and Paul Sullivan were all instrumental in getting the historic tax credits as well as endorsement letters from the Lucas County Treasurers Offi ce, the Lucas County Land Bank, Board of Lucas County Commissioners and the City of Toledo."
It is estimated that Hensville will create more than 110 construction positions.
"We look forward to breaking ground in early 2015 and restoring these long vacant buildings into vibrant and exciting parts of Toledo's historic Warehouse District."
Woodmore counts on seniorsThis season, the Woodmore wrestling
team has eight new freshmen. According to Coach Steve Ulinski, two seniors, Thomas Schnitker and Seth Gaghen, who qualifi ed for districts last year, are expected to com-pete at state fi nals this year,
Key returners are seniors Rito Alvear, Gaghen and Schnitker; junior Sean Small; and sophomores Jake Amstutz, Brandon Cowell and Conor Emch.
Coach Ulinski was Dane Bonnigson’s assistant for the last four years. Ulinski says the Wildcats will continue with the same philosophy, to work to take opponents from the top, turn them, get out from the bottom and stay on their feet.
The coach adds conditioning will also continue to be an emphasis. Wrestlers work very hard to prepare for the season. They spend several weeks conditioning and do-ing tough exercises. They also do lots of drilling, running and circuit training in practices.
“I always work as hard as I can with people who will push me to do better,” said Schnitker.
To stay in shape, wrestlers eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and foods with high pro-tein, and they abstain from eating junk food. It takes a lot of dedication to be in shape for wrestling. (— Window To Woodmore staff writer Nick Emerine)

Malone University’s 2014 football season was, in the words of former Genoa standout David Nutter, “different.” As in, not good.
“Coming from Genoa, in my high school career I was 39-1 and here you go 1-10,” Nutter said. “It was the complete opposite. It was frustrating more than any-thing. Totally different. You almost don’t know how to react.”
Nutter, a freshman, and his older brother Kyle, a sophomore, both played running back for the Pioneers this season. Kyle transferred in from the University of Cincinnati, where he played fullback for the Bearcats, and he and David hoped to help Malone improve on its 2-9 record from the previous season.
“They were 2-9 last year but they had a good amount of games that were close games, like two-touchdown games,” David said. “We were hoping to contribute and make that (a winning record in 2014) hap-pen. All the injuries were really unfortu-nate.”
Fifth-year coach Eric Hehman’s pro-gram lost its starting senior quarterback, Will Szpor, for the season due to an injury he suffered last spring. The Pioneers also lost four starting offensive linemen due to injury during the season, which contrib-uted to their 1-9 mark in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
Malone’s lone win was a 42-35 over-time victory over Northern Michigan. The Pioneers, an NCAA Division II program, were outscored 439-191 in 11 games.
“Experiencing going 1-10 was some-thing I’ve never done before,” Kyle Nutter said. “It’s a completely different feeling be-ing on the other end. It was rough.”

Kyle, a 5-foot-11, 230-pounder, rushed for more than 6,000 yards and 90 touch-downs at Genoa and was a three-time All-Ohio selection. This season he ap-peared in 10 games for Malone, located in Canton, and rushed for 282 yards and three touchdowns on 74 carries, a 3.8 average. He also caught one pass, a 17-yard touch-down against Tiffi n University, and was the
team’s second-leading rusher behind soph-omore Ronnie Beers (478 yards).
“I did a little bit of everything,” Kyle said. “I ran it up the middle most of the time, and I did some pass protection. When we were in two-back (formation), we would run power and I would do a lot of the lead blocking. I felt like I blocked really well. If anything, my running skills are rusty. Our
offensive line fi nished with one starter at the end of the season. We had 13 starters who were hurt.”
Kyle said he fought through several “nagging pains” throughout the season.
“I’ve been fortunate with injuries,” he said. “The only time I was injured was the last game of my junior year, when I tore my quad against Kenton. This year I hurt my hip fl exor in pregame of week one. My hips weren’t aligned right because of the strain pulling the hip up. Then I developed shin splints and then they kind of accumulated into Achilles tendonitis. I sat out one game because of the Achilles.”
David Nutter (5-11, 225), who was also an All-Ohio running back at Genoa, rushed 11 times for 31 yards (2.8 average) for the Pioneers this season.
“I traveled (on road games) and I started on special teams – kickoff, punt, and kickoff return – and I contributed at running back,” David said. “I started two games at running back, against Northern Michigan and Northwood. I wasn’t the starting running back, but I started the Northern Michigan game because our per-sonnel was the ‘30’ package. Kyle was hurt that game. The Northwood game was the same situation with the offensive package.”
David’s introduction to the college game came as the Pioneers’ kicker, against Ohio Dominican.
“I made a couple fi eld goals my senior year at Genoa,” he said. “Our (Malone's) starting kicker, from Denmark, his papers weren’t eligible for week one and our back-up kicker had a weak leg on kickoffs. He did the PATs. I was the kicker on kickoffs for week one. I wasn’t too nervous. My fi rst kick was really bad. It was a big, high kick where I got way too under the ball. My sec-ond kick went to about the 10-yard line.”
David said he also led Malone’s special teams in knockdowns on kickoff coverage.

nspirational essage of the eek: Being Flexible
Pastor Mark Wentz
Sunday School for all ages
At an early age, children usually learn that in order to
get along in this world, they have to be flexible. For
example, at bedtime a young child may rather stay up
and play than go to bed; however, they should be
taught that they cannot always have their own way,
and that it is necessary for them to get their rest.
Adults, as well as children, should be aware that being
flexible in our society is necessary to live in harmony
with the world around us. Often, being flexible simply
means being considerate of others, and when we
show this thoughtfulness to others, our consideration
will usually be reflected back to us. However, being
stubborn and non-yielding, only to save face when we
are wrong, reflects egotism and self pride. Knowledge
is acquired through experience; and, understanding
and respecting another's point of view will help us to
grow as a person. God wants us to live in harmony
with those around us, and not always having things
our way shows respect for others. Pride only breeds
quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take
advice. N.I.V. Proverbs 13:10

Obituary
Margaret Sinclair Hartman
O n M o n d a y ,
December 15, 2014,
Margare t Sinc la i r
Hartman passed from
this life surrounded by
her loving children.
Margie was born on
December 23, 1918
and was the daughter
of Frances Jefferson Robins and Edwin
Allen Sinclair, the fourth of their five
children: Georgiana (Billy) Cumming, Cecil
Sinclair, Archibald Sinclair and Martha
(Don) Judkins, all of whom predeceased her.
She was a graduate of Hampton High School
and attended Mary Washington College.As a
girl, Margie was a tomboy and quite athletic;
she enjoyed horseback riding and jumping
competitions as well as neighborhood
baseball games. She prided herself in being
able to bat right or left-handed. Like her
mother, she was an accomplished seamstress
and made many of her own clothes as well as
those of her children. From her father she
learned to use tools, often doing minor
repairs around the house. She loved the
challenge of something needing to be fixed
or created to solve a problem.
At the end of WWII Margie married
Wayne Hartman, her wartime sweetheart
and in 1947 they moved to the family farm in
Woodville, Ohio. They spent the next sixty-
three years raising their four children as well
as a number of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks,
lambs and even a Toggenburg goat. They
kept a large orchard and garden and enjoyed
the wildlife and country in general outside
their small town of Woodville. Margie was
very proud of her large vegetable garden and
asparagus and raspberry patches. From
home canned vegetables and fruits, to
pickles, jams and hearty soups, she took
great pleasure over the years in sharing the
bounties from her garden with family and
friends.
For the past four and a half years, Margie
had lived in a cottage at Green Ridge Village
Retirement Community where she and
Wayne moved in 2010 to be nearer to family.
She was preceded in death by her husband of
sixty-six years, Wayne Hartman, and her
beloved grandson, Brian Lehman.
Margie is survived by her children:
Martha (Gary) Maclay of Charlottesville,
VA; Beverly (Randy) Lehman of Newville,
PA; Barbara (Chip) Wilde of Ogden, UT; and
Fred (Kellie) Hartman of Spring Grove, IL.
She is also survived by twelve grand-
children: Graeme (Nicole), Anna (David
Fisher) & Kate (Aaron Schwartz) Maclay;
Taiten (Amy) & Todd (Rae-Ann) Lehman;
Andrew, Tim (Whitney) & Daniel Wilde;
Robert (Rachel), Danny (Lauren) Hopp, and
Colin and Rachel Ames. Margie is also
survived by nine great grandchildren: Leora
and Gabriel Fisher, Henry Maclay andAnton
Schwartz; Alexa, Astin, Avery and Molly
Lehman; and Brooke Hopp. Last but not
least, she will be greatly missed by her loyal
companion, Moses, “The Christmas Cat.”
Arrangements were handled by Egger
Funeral Home in Newville, PA with burial
following at Prospect Hill Cemetery,
Newville, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Four Diamonds
Foundation, P.O. Box 852, Hershey, PA
17033, in memory of Margie and her
grandson, Brian Lehman.
