A lot of things aren’t written into a high school athletic director’s job descrip-tion.

One of them is breaking up a “dis-agreement” in the stands between students and/or alleged adults.

Terry Reeves, a lifelong Oregon resi-dent who is in serving his fourth term on Oregon City Council, is in his fi fth year as the athletic director at Bowsher.

On Dec. 20, in the Rebels’ home boys basketball game against City League rival Scott, Reeves saw a ruckus in the stands in the third quarter and took action.

“It was the last day of school before Christmas break,” Reeves recalled. “There were some people up in the stands who were let in a different door than they should have been and they went up on our side. I guess this happened at halftime. They started getting a little rowdy with some of our fans. They weren’t all kids. Nineteen

people were arrested and probably only four of them were kids.”

Reeves, a former s t a t e - t o u r n a m e n t wrestler who now weighs more than 300 pounds, was in the hallway and looked through the gym doors and saw what was happening. There were eight secu-rity offi cers on hand, but Reeves took off anyway.

“There were people rushing out of the stands onto the fl oor,” he said. “I made sure the teams were off the court, and the offi -cials. I took off up the steps towards one of our kids and I got bumped into by a couple students who were tying to get away from the situation. They weren’t involved in the fi ght. I went down to my right knee and my left foot was about two steps ahead.”

Reeves, 55, tore a quad muscle that, at

that moment, he said, “sounded just like a gun going off.” He was in a leg brace un-til recently and is still going to physical therapy.

“The injury I had, the doctor said if I was an athlete it would be at least a year be-fore I could get back on the playing fi eld,” Reeves said. “It’s probably going to be a year and a half for me.”

Athletics in his bloodReeves isn’t an athlete anymore, but he

was. A good one, too. The 1977 Cardinal Stritch grad was a two-year starter in foot-ball with the Cardinals, as a center his sophomore and junior year and a starting offensive tackle as a senior. He was induct-ed into the Cardinal Stritch Hall of Fame in 2012 along with the rest of the Cardinals’ 1975 state playoff team, coached by Tom Greer.

Reeves was a three-year letterman in wrestling and was a two-time state tour-nament qualifi er, placing sixth at heavy-

Slain Offi cerdescribed as “exemplary...”By Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

Days after losing offi cer Jose Chavez to an act of violence, members of the Elmore Police Department were still trying to come to terms with the sudden death of the man known as Andy to friends and colleagues. “I don’t think the reality has set in around here yet,” Chief George Hayes said Wednesday. Hayes said he received a call at 3 a.m. notifying him of the shooting of the 26-year-old Chavez. Chavez was off duty and belatedly cel-ebrating his birthday at a tavern March 9 in Fremont when he and two others were shot and killed during an altercation. With only four full-time and three part-time offi cers on the Elmore department’s roster, the impact of the loss of Chavez has been profound, the chief said. “He was an excellent offi cer with a good personality,” Hayes said. “He was a well liked individual.” A statement issued by Sgt. Jeffrey Harrison the day of the shooting describe Chavez as “an exemplary offi cer in good standing with the department.” Chavez lived in Woodville with his wife and two children. He was an aux-iliary member of the Woodville Police Department and worked full-time with a private security fi rm in Toledo before join-ing the Elmore department as a full-time of-fi cer in January 2012. “He would have gone far,” Chief Hayes said. “He was well educated and very ar-ticulate.” The chief described Chavez as his “go-to man” for the funeral procession last October for former Elmore mayor Lowell Krumnow. “He was on the motor scooter and was able to get wherever we needed him to be for traffi c control or crowd control. He got around a lot better on that thing than I could have,” Hayes said. Like many of the offi cers in the depart-ment, Chavez found conducting investiga-tions of crimes an especially interesting part of his job, the chief said. Flags were at half staff in the village

Offi cer Jose “Andy” Chavez.

Reeves hurtattempting tobreak up fi ght

weight as a senior in 1977. He also lettered one year in track and fi eld. Reeves graduat-ed from the University of Toledo with a de-gree in special education, and taught for 14 years, including stints at East Toledo and East Broadway middle schools as a seventh grade special ed teacher.

“I started coaching freshman football and wrestling in the fall of 1977 at Cardinal Stritch,” Reeves said. “Tom Greer gave me the opportunity. He wanted some people on staff and asked if I was interested. I coached 31 years of high school football and wres-tling. Basically I wanted to be around the young men and try to help them succeed in the classroom, on the playing fi eld and in life as well.”

Reeves coached basketball at Start for three years before moving to coach Bowsher’s boys basketball team from 1988-94. He was also an assistant wrestling coach for the Rebels during that period.

“After Bowsher, I got into teaching on the east side,” Reeves said. “A job opened up at Waite. My brother-in-law (Carmen Amenta) was the head coach at Waite and I was a football assistant for 12 or 13 years. I coached at Stritch for a year, then went to Rossford for three years. I was still coach-ing wrestling at Stritch when I was coach-ing football.

“I decided to run for city council, so I couldn’t commit the time for high school football anymore. I became the head foot-ball coach at Eisenhower, then I got the AD job (at Bowsher).”

Reeves said he enjoys his role as ath-letic director.

“I love being around the kids and help-ing them out and giving them a positive ex-perience at school, other than academics,” he said, adding that he misses coaching “tremendously.”

“I love being outdoors,” said Reeves, who was a wrestling offi cial for more than 25 years. “Football’s always been my fi rst love. I wrestled because my parents (Jim and Carol) enjoyed it so much and I wanted to stay in shape for football. I miss coaching wrestling in the (practice) room, but I don’t miss the long (tournament) weekends.”

Reeves was elected to Oregon city council in 2007 and won his fourth term last November. Reeves, who grew up on Coy Road and still resides in Oregon, said he ran for offi ce because “I thought some things in the city weren’t going the correct way and I wanted to see if I could make a change, and I think I have.”

He said his background as an athlete and coach has been a benefi t in his role as a councilman.

“It gives you the ability to be able to listen to problems and solve situations before it gets too far out of hand,” Reeves said. “I’ve always said that I’ve spent my whole life defending people against bul-lies and things like that. I want to do what’s right and make sure people are happy with things going on with our (Oregon) sports programs and roads and what their taxes are spent on. If if doesn’t work out, it both-ers me.”

As councilman, Reeves serves as chair-man of the Parks and Recreation Committee and serves on both the Public Utilities & Environmental and Water & Sewer com-mittees. He and his wife of 27 years, Diane, have two daughters, Samantha, 24, and

Monica, 22, and three grandsons.“My wife is a wonderful lady,” said

Reeves, who wakes at 5 a.m. each morning and is one of the fi rst school personnel to get to Bowsher every day. “We have never had an argument or a fi ght. Part of the rea-son, I think, is I’m never home enough.”

Reeves said his job as athletic director is made much easier with the help of assis-tant athletic director Mike Jewell. Reeves said he sometimes doesn’t leave the school until after 11 p.m. if there is a home athletic event.

“I could not do this job without Mike and his family, and my wife is so support-ive,” Reeves said. “She comes to all the games, works the games for me, and that’s a lot of quality time I get to spend with her at games. Mike is a great guy to have on your staff.”

Village’s income tax credit under reviewBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

Tight fi nances are forcing Oak Harbor Village Council to consider possible elimi-nation or reduction of the village’s income tax credit. Currently, the village collects a 1 per-cent income tax from village residents who live and work in the village. People who live in the village but work in communities where another tax is collected are exempt from the tax The income tax dates back to 1971 and, last year brought in a little more than $680,000, according to tax administrator Kim Mehlow. The village, however, continues to struggle to keep its fi nances in the black as major projects such as a combined overfl ow sewer system revamp and other utility line replacements loom. As a result, leaders are exploring a number of ways of increasing revenues to offset expenses. Councilman Don Douglas, head of the fi nance committee, has suggested it’s time council reconsider the income tax credit. That is, those residents now exempt from the tax could possibly be responsible for paying all or a portion of the tax. “I want to paint a clear picture,” Douglas said. He offered three possible op-tions: Hiking the tax rate, eliminating the

tax credit or reducing the amount of the credit. Eliminating the tax credit completely would mean an additional $166,000 annu-ally, fi scal offi cer Debbie Carpenter said. How many people a tax change would affect was not known. Councilman Jim Seaman isn’t opposed to a possible tax credit change, he said. “But,” he added, “We need to be diligent in making cuts before we put more burden on village residents. Last appropriations, we had no cuts.” “You’re right,” Douglas replied. “This year, the only thing we did was approve a $20,000 increase in health insurance costs.” Council entertains the fi nal reading of the 2014 permanent appropriations at its March 17 meeting. The legislation calls for about $11 million in total appropriations, with $1.8 million for daily operations and salaries. To fend off budget problems for now, Carpenter and Interim administrator Randy Genzman scrutinize expense requests to-gether on daily basis. “Randy has turned a lot of requests down,” Carpenter said. Village solicitor Jim Barney cautioned that any revisions would not provide im-mediate relief. Changes cannot be retroac-tive, he explained. He also noted he had

spoke to Mehlow regarding complications involved in trying to set up half year and quarter year collections. Realistically, Barney said, legislation changes passed this year would take effect in January 2015. Collections would begin in 2016. Council decided to hold off on a deci-sion until more information can be collect-ed. Seaman emphasized there was no rea-son to rush to a decision without weighing all the facts. “Even if we do it today, we don’t see any cash until 2016.” “Everything moves slow here,” Councilman Jon Fickert countered. “That’s nothing new.” Area landlord Adam Snyder asked if the village had considered annexing other properties to help bring more revenue into the village in a variety of ways. “It’s a consent issue,” Barney said. “The people have to want to be in the vil-lage.” Mayor Bill Eberle explained that an-nexations also had to involve parcels im-mediately adjacent to village corporation limits. “You can’t jump over a piece of land,” he added, noting some subdivision resi-dents have expressed interest in the past.

When longtime International Boxing Club president Andrew Rakay passed away after suffering a stroke at age 80 in 2010, IBC founder and best friend Harry Cummins, along with the rest of the gym’s family, honored their pal by retiring the sa-cred gold bell that Rakay used to keep time with during the gym’s many amateur box-ing bouts.

It will be displayed on an IBC wall for all to see and remember.

However, on March 22, 2014 from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., that carefully-preserved bell will be taken down and pressed into ser-vice one more time.

Only on this occasion, it won’t be used to ring in the start of another boxing show, or to signal the end of a round, but instead to sound a traditional “last alarm” for fallen Toledo fi refi ghters Stephan A. Machcinski and James A. Dickman, who were killed in the line of duty while battling an apartment fi re near downtown Toledo on January 26.

“That’s the way Andrew, a lifelong Toledo fi refi ghter himself, and a giving man with a tireless passion for helping others, would’ve wanted it,” Cummins said.

In the boxing world, a fi nal 10-count is often done for boxers killed in the ring or for greats of the sport who have passed away. This time, the IBC will ring it for the fi refi ghters as part of a fundraising event, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the late fi refi ghters’ families.

“I’ll be taking Andrew’s bell back down off the wall, and doing a fi nal 10-count with it, and that will be Andrew’s way of per-forming a ‘last Alarm’ for his fellow fallen fi refi ghters as he looks down on our event,” explains Cummins.

Event to raise money for families

Andy Rakay’s bell to be rung for fallen fi refi ghtersthe scene of another tragic Toledo fi re, the Anthony Wayne Trail fi re, after a gasoline tanker turned over, and burst into fl ames near downtown Toledo,” shares Cummins.

The infamous June 10, 1961 disaster on the trail saw four other Toledo fi refi ght-ers lose their lives while fi ghting the histor-ic blaze which destroyed nearby homes. It injured 80 people, at least 30 of whom were children, and choked downtown in thick, black smoke, all resulting from the violent explosion of nearly 8,000 gallons of gas.

“Then, in ‘71, he became a captain, and later retired as a captain from Station No. 3 at Bush and Erie in ‘82,” Cummins said. “Throughout his career, Andrew served as president of the Firefi ghters Union, and was credited for fi ghting for better work-ing conditions for Toledo fi refi ghters. So, I think this is the way he would’ve wanted it. He brought his bell over to the gym from his retirement from the department, and used it during our amateur boxing bouts when he became our timekeeper.

“From our IBC board members, to our young boxers, to our tutors over in the learning center, to our coaches, this will be the IBC’s way of donating our facility, and giving back to our fallen fi refi ghters, and re-ally all of the local fi refi ghters for the selfl ess service they provide to our communities,” says Cummins. “I salute each and every one of them, and our hearts here at the gym go out to the families of our fallen heroes.”

Since the founding of the fi re depart-ment in Toledo in 1837, Toledo has lost 49 fi refi ghters to active duty, with Pvt. Machcinski and Pvt. Dickman becoming the 48th and 49th losses while battling the Magnolia Street apartment blaze.

Matthew Tylicki has led quite a life since he graduated from Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School. In fact, Tylicki did more things in a 20 year span than most people get to do in a lifetime.

The 1986 graduate has been all over the world, spending time in the Mediterranean, Latin America, Europe, Asia and various places in the United States; even living on the island of Sicily for two years. And though he currently does advanced work for Lockheed Martin – one of the leading companies in the technology world – many people gravitate toward the fact he has worked for the White House Military Offi ce, supporting the Offi ce of the President of the United States for multiple years.

And Tylicki is quick to credit the Navy for many of his accomplishments.

“It never ceases to amaze me, the opportunities that the military gives you for leadership,” said Tylicki. “And for that point, leadership under pressure too. That’s one of the intangible things that you get out of the military. It is something that you won’t necessarily get on the outside.”

During his time in the Navy, Tylicki was not only given the opportunity to travel the world, he also spent a lot of time being educated. Throughout his service, Tylicki spent more than three years in the classroom studying electronics with emphasis on satellite communications technology.

And with every chance Tylicki was given to learn about technology, he never let the Navy down as he excelled as a student. Throughout his years in the military, Tylicki was consistently at the top of his class when it came to education. And his hard work in the classroom and work ethic in the fi eld were rewarded consistently when it came time to choose assignments and where he wanted to apply his skills.

Those two things also helped lead him to very unexpected places.

“The military was very good about recognizing and rewarding hard work. Because of my record (evaluations, awards, and other documents that go into your permanent record ) I was, without my knowledge, selected for a group called the

Tylicki sees ‘world of good’ in supporting presidents

White House Communications Agency (WHCA),” said Tylicki. “Their job is to provide the communications for the White House staff, the Secret Service and the President while he is on the road, away from the White House. I was also one of the lucky few to be assigned to the communications detachment at Camp David.”

“That was an incredible job,” Tylicki went on to say. “I spent the fi rst year wondering around just in awe that I was even there. It was just incredible.” During his time at Camp David, Tylicki supported numerous visits by Presidents Clinton and Bush (43) as well as many other foreign heads of state. “The high point of my tour was supporting the second Camp David Peace Accords held between Israel and the Palestinians in 2000.”

Tylicki’s time working at WHCA was not easy though. He was constantly on the road, and Sept. 11, 2001 led to three straight months of work without a day off. But despite the long days he often put in, Tylicki had to make one last tour out to sea before retiring.

That assignment also led to an experience of a lifetime.

While on his fi nal deployment, Tylicki’s ship, USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG-81), was the fi rst to rescue a ship crew that had their ship overtaken by pirates off the coast of Somalia in 2006. It was the fi rst of many

times the United States Navy would help out with such missions.

Now, after spending 20 years in the Navy, Tylicki does work for Lockheed Martin. But while he may no longer be enlisted, he still is a huge supporter of the armed forces. He currently has a son who is planning to enlist and wants others – including students at Stritch and other catholic schools – to consider making the same move he made almost 30 years ago.

“Especially for those who don’t feel they’re ready for college yet, or they don’t know how they are going to pay for it, or maybe they just want to get out and do something different while they are young, I think that the military is a really good path to follow,” said Tylicki. “For some people this may seem like an opposing view [Catholic education versus military career], personally I think, especially coming from a Catholic school, the values instilled at a Catholic school are very much aligned with the values that the military instills in their people.”

Those values include: honor, personal courage, commitment, sacrifi ce, selfl ess service, respect, integrity, duty. “These are all values that any Christian will recognize,” said Tylicki. “And they are the same values that the military lives out every day.”

Heat help deadline Residents seeking assistance to pay their winter heating bills have un-til April 15 to submit applications for assistance. The Winter Crisis Program (WCP) at WSOS, also known as the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP), will continue to accept ap-pointments until that time. WCP provides one-time assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by paying some of their heating bills. These households receive up to $175 once per heating season to pay regu-lated utilities, $350 for wood, $450 for non-regulated utility companies and up to $750 for those who use propane and have less than 35 percent left in their tanks. The income limits this year to receive assistance through this pro-gram is 175 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, which is $5,026 for a household with one person and $10,303 for a four-person household in a 90-day period. Appointments are required to ap-ply for assistance through EHEAP. To schedule an appointment, call 1-888-441-4327.

Award-winning jewelry artist Amy Beeler, of Oregon, is the fi rst jewelry artist to be honored with a solo exhibition at the University of Maine Museum of Art. The show opens April 3 and runs through June 7. The 21-piece exhibition, “Passion and Adornment,” features some of the most intense, innovative and visually dramatic work of Beeler’s career, she said. “What’s most intriguing is that Beeler encourages us to question the notion of jewelry and adornment,” said George Kinghorn, director of the University of Maine Museum of Art in Bangor. “They are sculptures masquerading as wearable piec-es. Above all, the exhibition investigates the idea of jewelry as sculpture, as art ob-ject.” Kinghorn discovered Beeler’s work while serving as a judge at the 2013 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa, Fla., at which Beeler received the presti-gious Anniversary Award. Beeler graduated from Bowling Green University in Ohio in 2000 with a B.F.A. in studio art. She is a 10-year veteran of the art fair circuit, and her work has appeared in galleries and group exhibitions across the country. Locally, she has won Best of Show awards at the University of Toledo’s Art On The Mall and the Upper Arlington Festival; an Award of Excellence at the Columbus Winterfair; and awards at the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green and the

Beeler works primarily in silver, using the l ost-wax casting method, in which she uses seed pods to cast her pieces. Her work is heavily infl uenced by na-ture and captures the interplay between the dynamic forms and intricate details of plants, seed pods and other organic mate-rials. “As much as I like the idea of being a big-city kind of girl, I am still a farm kid at heart,” said Beeler. “Nature helps me express myself. I’ve always found that us-ing the seed pods give a depth to my work. There is a part of a seed pod that is so in tune with how I want to express human emotions -- beauty, fear, a multitude of other ideas.” Although most of her art fair work fo-cuses on strictly functional pieces, her lat-est gallery pieces trend in a more abstract, sculptural direction. “I was at a crossroads with my work – wearable pieces for the art fairs versus larger conceptual pieces – and was in-spired by this opportunity to expand my work,” Beeler said. “Each of the pieces for this show needed to make its own state-ment – to stand strong and alone, almost as a sculpture. “This opportunity came along at the perfect time, and I am truly grateful,” she said. “Having my work in a solo exhibition at a museum of art is a dream come true.” View her work, including pieces that will be exhibited in Maine, on her website, www.amybeeler.com.

Genoa may have new police chief soonBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The Press

The Village of Genoa has trimmed its list of candidates for police chief down to two men. A council committee has already in-terviewed Brad Weis, a Toledo Police Department captain, and is expected to interview Chad Milner, an Ottawa County Sheriff’s Offi ce deputy, on Thursday, ac-cording to Village Administrator Kevin Gladden. Weis has a number of other ties to Ottawa County. The Oak Harbor resident is also a current member of Oak Harbor Village Council. And Milner already has a history with Genoa, having served as police chief until 2008 when he left to become a sheriff’s dep-uty. The two were among the three fi nal candidates selected by consultant Mark Putnam from the pool of applicants formed

following the resignation of former Genoa Police Chief Bob Bratton in January. The third person, Mike McGee, dropped out during the search process after taking a job with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the administrator said. Gladden, who is not part of the search committee, said he was unsure when the committee hoped to have a new police chief hired. The decision, however, could come as soon as Monday when village council meets at town hall for its regular second meeting of the month. Meanwhile, the police department has been overseen by interim Police Chief Todd Mocniak. The scheduling process turned a little more diffi cult last week when offi cer Kevin Miller left the de-partment to take a job with an area casino, Gladden said. Part-time offi cers are helping fi ll those patrolling niches, he said. Bratton resigned in the wake of a

theft in offi ce scandal during his tenure as Ottawa County sheriff. According to an audit, he used more than $5,000 of Furtherance of Justice Funds on personal items such as clothing and prescription drugs as well as Cedar Point tickets to re-ward underprivileged children. The federal monies are issued to sheriff departments to help staff in law enforcement operations. The mishandling of funds was found during a 2012 audit conducted by Ohio Secretary of State David Yost’s offi ce. Bratton, who cooperated throughout the audit, paid back the money as well as the costs for the investigation. The Ottawa County prosecutor’s offi ce decided not to fi le charges. However, months later, the Cleveland offi ce of the Federal Bureau of Investigation reopened the case and fi led a single felo-ny charge against Bratton in U.S. District Court. Bratton pleaded guilty Jan. 29. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May.

Transportationto be discussedBy Press Staff Writer

The Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments will hold a public meeting March 20 at the East Toledo Senior Center, 1001 White Street, to offer area residents the chance to voice their opinions on a long-range transportation plan the council is formulating. The meeting will be from 12:30-1:30 p.m. TMACOG is updating the plan “On the Move: 2015-2045 Transportation Plan” – a prioritized listed of projects and policies – for Lucas and Wood counties in Ohio and southern Monroe County in Michigan. Among the goals for the plan are improved road safety and infrastruc-ture conditions and reduced traffi c congestion. The scheduled completion date of the plan is July 1, 2015. TMACOG is also posting a survey on its website to solicit input on what residents see as priorities for future in-vestment into the region’s transporta-tion systems. The survey uses a rating system, from extremely important to no opin-ion, to ask residents their opinions of transportation issues. The meeting is being hosted by the East Toledo Club and Neighborhood Housing Services of Toledo. Lunch can be purchased at noon. For reservation information call Jodi at 419 691-1429.

Casino Night Toledo Early College High School Parent Staff Association will present a Casino Night fundraiser Friday, March 21 from 6:30-11:30 p.m. at Line Drive Sportz at the Lucas County Rec Center, 2901 Key St., Maumee.

Save schools To the editor: The Eastwood Committee to Save Our Elementaries will be attending the Eastwood Board of Eductaion meeting on March 17 in the high school library. The board meeting begins at 7 p.m., and the group will meet about 10 minutes before. The committee plans to ask the board of education to hold off any spending of money or decisions related to a central campus elementary or any new construc-tion until the committee has time to meet with the board and share information that it has collected. The committee organized in an effort to stop any levy that would consolidate the Luckey and Pemberville elementary schools into one central campus elemen-tary school. The committee’s slogan is: “We Voted No Twice – No Central Elementary,” and its mission statement is “Supporting the Eastwood School District while maintain-ing our local village elementaries.” The committee’s goal is to renovate and restore the buildings in Luckey and Pemberville to state-of-the-art facilities at a cost cheaper than a new facility, as has been done throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The Committee to Save Our Elementaries consists of local business people, educators, elected offi cials, build-ers and concerned residents from both vil-lages and townships. All interested voters are also invited to attend the next meeting of the committee March 24 at 7 p.m. in the Eagle Room of Pisanello’s Pizza, Pemberville. Residents can also email co-chairs Carol Bailey at [email protected] and Crystal Crosby at [email protected] to join the committee or to receive the fi ndings and information from the commit-tee.Carol Bailey, Co-Chairman, Committee to Save Our ElementariesPemberville

How many of life’s so-called disasters are actually worthy of your time, energy, and emotions? It’s so easy to get worked up over some issue that ultimately fades to insignifi cance over time. It’s a waste to get caught up in turmoil over issues that don’t really matter in the long, or even short term. The smallest incident has the potential to be upsetting. Actions of close family and friends can be extremely irritating. This is because you have become conditioned to be triggered by behavior that has a tendency to get under your skin. There are certain behaviors you are highly sensitive to, regardless of the source. Even complete strangers have the ability to produce a deleterious effect on you. Always keep in mind that you have no control over someone else’s behavior, but you do have to-tal control over your response. Driving your car encapsulates the es-sence of this concept. It is an excellent opportunity to practice your assessment of what really matters. The paramount issue while behind the wheel is your safety. Becoming embroiled in any altercation with rude or inconsiderate drivers has no upside. So, regardless of what another driv-er does, it doesn’t really matter. You have nothing to prove and any attempt to teach them a lesson starts a downward spiral. You can get worked up at any time and any place, even when you are supposed to be relaxing and having fun. Here are just some examples. At the movies, a really tall person sits in front of you. You go out for dinner and are served by an inattentive waiter. Your children are unruly. At a social event, you get into an argument with some

Recognize what’s important in life

of your friends. You and your spouse get into an argument over which color to use for painting the living room. Bad weather has ruined your plans for the weekend. Perhaps some of these examples seem idiotic, but it is astounding how many peo-ple become embroiled in negative emotions over stuff that doesn’t really matter. Looking back, they may not remember why they got so upset, if they even remember the inci-dent at all. For instance, there are people who have not talked to family members or friends for years on end and can’t tell you why. Getting upset over things that don’t re-ally matter is a conditioned response devel-oped over many years. Since nothing will be gained by becoming upset, it’s to your

advantage to alter your response. To do this requires a shift in perspec-tive. You need to appreciate what is really important and valuable in your life. First and foremost is your well-being, both men-tally and physically. Undue stress from emotional upheavals over stuff that doesn’t matter takes a measurable toll. Symptoms include anger, anxiety, headaches, high blood pressure, ulcers, a lowered immune system, along with eating and sleep disorders. Not only is your health constantly worn down, your agitation has a negative impact on those around you. Your becoming agitated will not make anything better. This approach actually causes you to feel worse as your ability to think clearly drops, while your level of anxi-ety elevates. The next time you are faced with an up-setting situation is an opportunity to prac-tice altering your strategy. Instead of getting worked up the way you normally would, ask yourself, “Does this really matter?” Since the answer is invariably, “No,” let it roll off your back without getting under your skin. There are no risks to this change in strategy. There are no negative side effects. Your feeling better is the only potential out-come. You do have control over your re-sponse. Start exercising it.

The Food and Drug Administration re-cently came out with a sweet surprise. Its proposed new nutrition label will fi nally give us a bit of key information we need to understand our food: the amount of added sugars. If you look at a nutrition label now, you will see how many grams of sugar are in a serving of your food. That includes all sugars. It counts the lactose in milk and naturally occurring sugars from fruit. The nutritionally important bit of info for most of us is not total sugars, but added sugars — which include the sweetener we call “sugar” plus others like high-fructose corn syrup and honey. In addition to the blueberries and the yogurt in your blueberry yogurt, how much sugar did the manufacturer add? If you’re trying to pick the healthiest yogurt or granola bar, that’s a fact you need to know. OK, so every breakfast cereal in the aisle has some sugar added to it, but do the 19 grams of sugar in Kellogg’s Raisin Bran come from the raisins or from sugar and high-fructose corn syrup? How does it stack up against Froot Loops, which only has 12 grams of sugar but no fruit at all? Until now, the simplest way to do this was something nobody will try at home. You can count the number of raisins per serving of Raisin Bran and then calculate the amount of sugar in them. And, as it

A sweet, healthy victory in labeling

turns out, the cereal is actually full of add-ed sugars. More than two decades ago, the nutri-tion activist group Center for Science in the Public Interest asked the government to in-clude “Added Sugars” on nutrition labels. The government refused. Why? Because it might confuse consumers. The activist group tried again in 1999. That year, sugar consumption hit an all-time high. Yet again, the answer was no. In 2013, with First Lady Michelle Obama calling the nation’s attention to the catastrophic state of our diets, it was time to try again. And — just recently — the Food and Drug Administration agreed. It’s ridiculous that it took two decades for the government to side with consumers over the interests of the food industry, but thank goodness our leaders came to their senses. At least on this one issue. The nutrition advice you’ve prob-ably heard on sugar involves phrases like “empty calories” and “eat sparingly.” The conventional wisdom was that added sug-ars were bad simply because they contrib-uted calories to your diet without any nu-trition.

As for the advice about eating it “spar-ingly,” that’s not what we do here in the United States, where about 15 percent of our calories come from sugar. In truth, added sugar’s more than just an empty calorie. It’s harmful to your body in a number of ways, and eating too much can increase your risk of contracting diabe-tes and heart disease, having a stroke, and more serious illnesses. The good news is, once the new nutri-tion labels take effect, you’ll at least be able to know how much you’re eating. Going by the American Heart Association’s recom-mendations, women should stick to six tea-spoons (25 grams) or less, and men to nine teaspoons (38 grams) or less. Hopefully, food companies will be as eager to claim their products are low in added sugars as they were to claim “zero trans fats” when that went on the label. Successfully reducing sugar consump-tion to healthier levels, even with labeling, will be no picnic in the toxic food environ-ment we live in. The real change will come if — or when — food companies decide to remove heaps of the sweet stuff from our food instead of admitting to obscene amounts of it on their labels. And that will be a sweet victory for health.

The Oregon Fest Committee has been busy planning fun events for its 20th-year celebration, which will be held May 18. In light of the two-decade anniversary, it seemed appropriate to designate this year’s theme as “The Best of Oregon.” The popular annual festival will fea-ture the usual events, including arts and crafts, a Business Fair, Classic Car Show, Festival Foods, kids’ art projects, a Living History Encampment, Quality of Life Tent, rides, games, prizes, free stage entertain-ment, a Grand Parade and more.

From March 17 through April 18, folks are invited to vote for their Oregon favorites, including restaurants, pizza, grocery store, bank, pharmacy and more. Ballots will be

Oregon Fest planners:

Entries sought for ‘Best of Oregon’ contestsent home with school-age children and are available at the Oregon Library. • Distinctly My Oregon – a photo con-test seeking entries that depict something “distinctly Oregon.” Photos must be print-ed and submitted by April 18. Photos may be turned in at the Oregon Branch Library, 3340 Dustin Rd., or mailed to Oregon Fest Photo Contest, P.O. Box 167774, Oregon OH 43616. Photos must include the photographer’s name, address, phone and location of picture written on the back. Judges will choose 10 photos based on content, impact and creativity. Photos will be on display at the library April 21-May 7 for members of the public to select their fa-vorite. Judges’ Choice and People’s Choice prizes will be awarded at the Fest. In addition, a “pre-fest” Give `N Take Plant Exchange will be held Saturday,

Reader's theater Oregon Community Theatre will present its Reader’s Theatre with the Broadway hit “The Good Doctor” writ-ten by Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov and directed by Bill Quinlan March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the lower level at the ProMedica Bay Park Hospital, Oregon. The comedic show is a composite of Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov. Reader’s Theatre is a more intimate style of theatre in which the actors do not memorize their lines, said cast member Nancy Ice. Rather, they ei-ther go through their blocking holding scripts and reading off their lines, or else sit/stand together on a stage and read through the script together. Actors use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story rath-er than visual storytelling such as sets, costumes, and intricate blocking. Like storytelling, Reader’s Theatre can create images by suggestion that could never be realistically portrayed on stage. Cast members include Patrick Boyer, Tammy Halay, Renee Harrington, Nancy Ice, Kyle Slagley, Reed Steele and Tom Zulick. Tickets are $5 at the door. Admission is free for OCT season ticketholders. For more information, call 419-691-1398 or go to oregoncommunitytheatre.org.

Only one percent of parents believe that his/her teen binge drinks. Brian and Cindy Hoefl inger, of Ottawa Hills, were in the 99 percent who did not know their son would binge with friends. That was a year ago. That was before they got a phone call to get to the hospital as soon as possible. During this past year, the Hoefl ingers have become tireless in learning the sub-culture that supports binge drinking and sharing what they have learned in as many places as possible. Their story was recent-ly featured nationally on the Katie Couric Show, and locally, by Toledo news anchors Jerry Anderson and Diane Larson. In addition to the television interviews, Dr. Hoefl inger wrote a book documenting the topic, “The Night He Died: The Harsh Reality of Teenage Drinking.” On Sunday, March 16 at 3 p.m., the Hoefl ingers will be at Woodmore High School to share the story of their son, Brian, with hopes of sparing lives of other teens. This forum is open to all members of the Woodmore and neighboring communities. The school is located at 633 Fremont St., Elmore. For more information about the Hoefl ingers, visit www.brianmatters.com. For more information about the work of Two Villages, contact Jayne Klett at [email protected].

March weather is typically unpredict-able. One day can have cold, blowing winds with mixes of sleet or snow while the very next day can sparkle with sunshine and mild, spring-like breezes. It almost seems like a seasonal struggle goes on this month between the cold, wan-ing forces of winter and the warm advance of an oncoming spring. Though its allotted time is soon to be over, winter seems deter-mined to prolong its stay as long as it can. Thankfully, the gentle forces of warmer weather are destined to prevail. In March, the stoic bulbs and, soon-to-be emerging perennials in our gardens and yards hold their own in spite of the warring weather. They seem to know that their time of fl ow-ering and robust growth is just ahead. As moody as the weather is now, spring will soon be here and the garden planning that we do now will ensure that we are ready for the gardening season just ahead. Offi cially, winter is about over and somehow the mixture of warm weather,

Get GrowingSpice up gardens with new fl ower, vegetable varieties this year

sunshine, and bird song ahead really stirs up the green thumb in many of us. If you’ve never gardened or haven’t cracked a hoe or wielded a trowel in a while, why not consider growing some fl owers or vegetables this year? Try a vari-ety of growing methods in your garden or yard. Grow some things from seed. Zinnias, marigolds and sunfl owers are easily grown and do not have special re-quirements other than adequate sunshine, water, and decent soil. Radishes, spinach and green beans are also easily grown and do not require a lot of space. Along with your seed plants, put in some transplants for immediate colorful beauty. Also, try some summer blooming corms and tubers for later fl owering and fo-liage. Gladiolas along the back of a fl ower bed will add spiky height and color to your garden in mid-summer. Dahlias are actu-ally easy to grow and offer lots of variety in size and hue, and caladiums are wonderful for splashes of leafy color in shady spots. If you’re an established gardener, you’ve probably been poring over your gar-den catalogs, which I believe come earlier every year. My fi rst 2014 garden catalog ar-

rived in November 2013, and Thanksgiving Eve found me drooling over the newly-of-fered varieties of fl owers and vegetables. Now that many more catalogs have come in, I’ve found even more splendid plants that are whetting my gardening ap-petite. Some of these include “Pink Poodle” conefl ower, a fully double bright pink pe-rennial; “Love’s Magic,” a re-blooming, double daylily; and “Cheddar Hybrid,” a caulifl ower variety that is chock full of be-

ta-carotene. Be sure and check out the “Indigo Series” hybrid tomatoes, which are a blue variety very high in anthocyanin, which is the antioxidant found in blueberries. There are several different types of tomatoes in this series (fi nd more information on these at www.jungseed.com). The America’s Garden Almanac is pre-dicting a cool, wet spring this year with a last frost date of May 15. Cooler tempera-tures may mean planting tender crops a bit later than usual but most plants appreciate adequate moisture. Whatever the condi-tions, spring and milder conditions will be most welcome after this very cold, very snowy, severe winter. March garden tip: This is a good time to begin cleaning dead foliage, leaves, dead branches, etc. out of your gardens and beds, but try to avoid walking on the bare, wet soil in your beds as this will compact the soil. Prune off any dead or damaged branches on trees or shrubs now before new growth begins in the spring.If you have garden questions or tips for other gardeners, send them in to [email protected].

High School Girl’s Basketball Teams

By J. Patrick Eakenand Mark Griffi [email protected]

She can play anywhere on the court — guard, wing, or even post position, and she’s only a sophomore who stands 5-foot-10. Oak Harbor standout Andrea Cecil caught the eyes of many prep basketball fans, enough so that she was voted this year’s Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Player of the Year. After leading the Rockets to a 20-5 sea-son, which included a Division III sectional championship and district runner-up, Cecil narrowly defeated Genoa senior guard Ciara Albright, an honorable mention all-state selection, in voting. Out of 10 area coaches and 10 media members voting, Cecil had just two more than Albright for POY, and they were the only two who received any votes on an open ballot. In addition, Cecil’s coach, Tom Kontak, narrowly edged Genoa coach Mike DeStazio and Clay coach Corey Slovak in Coach of the Year voting. Cecil averaged 19.5 points and 7.6 re-bounds on a team that is bound to be going places in the next two years because mul-tiple starters are underclassmen. They were so young when the season started, that no one knew for sure what was coming, not even the coaches.

Kontak, who has a 127-57 career mark, returned just two starters from a year ago in senior guard Amanda Hetrick and Cecil, who was named third-team All-Ohio on Tuesday.

“We started two freshmen (Emma Barney and Maddy Rathbun) who were on the eighth grade SBC championship team the year prior,” Kontak said. “The other sophomore who started was Athena Eli. Three sophomores, Allie Kuhn, Emma Bergman and Brandy Lochotzki, came off the bench. There were so many questions that needed to be answered, with only two players with playing time returning.”

Kontak said his coaching staff realized early on what kind of players it had to work with.

“Right away you found out that they had a great competitive spirit,” he said. “They were a very competitive group and they were very coachable players. Then, we just had to go day to day to teach what it takes to play at the varsity level. They’re winners. They understand that part of it.”

Kontak said he brought in a local per-sonal trainer, Tyson Smith, to work with the girls’ conditioning.

“We spent a lot of time on stamina and agility and built up the girls from a physi-cal standpoint,” Kontak said. “Our stamina was as good as anybody.”

Oak Harbor graduates just two seniors in Amanda Hetrick and Nikki Weiss, who only played in fi ve games because of a knee injury. Next year’s team will not have a se-nior on the roster.

“With young kids, there are no guar-antees,” Kontak said. “There are always so many distractions going on that we’ll have to stay focused and committed.”

Albright (18.4 pts., 7.2 reb.), who has been offered a full ride to continue her ca-reer at Columbus State Community College, scored 1,082 career points, including 461 her senior year. She was the leading scorer in the Northern Buckeye Conference, was a fi rst team All-District 7 and All-NBC selec-tion and will play in the District 7 all-star game. She is the seventh player in Genoa

Kontak honored by district, state, and then locallyBy Mark Griffi nand J. Patrick [email protected]

In eight years as a varsity girls’ basketball coach at Genoa and Oak Harbor, Tom Kontak has won 127 games, two league titles and fi ve sec-tional championships and reached four district fi nals.

This year’s Oak Harbor team, which started two sophomores and two freshmen, fi nished 20-5 and was seconds away from advancing to the Division III regional semifi nals.

On Tuesday, Kontak was named the D-III Co-Coach of the Year by The Associated Press. Last Thursday, Kontak, 51, learned that he was voted the AP Northwest District Co-Coach of the Year with Liberty-Benton coach Nate Irwin. This week, Kontak was voted the Alan Miller Jewelers All-Press Coach of the Year.

The Rockets, which fi nished 16-8 last season in their fi rst year under Kontak, fi nished 11-3 in the Sandusky Bay Conference this year.

The AP district and state co-coach of the year awards are the fi rst for Kontak, who was named coach of the year by the District 7 Coaches’ Association in 2009, when his Genoa team reached the district fi nals.

“This is a great honor in that it’s voted on by the media and covers such a large area,” Kontak said of the district honor. “Hopefully having been around for a while, the voters recognize the success we’ve had over the years and that we have done things the right way. I was very surprised. I got a call from one of my coaching friends and he said congratulations. I had no idea.”

Kontak said he’s familiar with what Irwin has accomplished at Liberty-Benton, which was ranked sixth.

“We go back to our early days when he was at Liberty-Benton and I was at Genoa,” Kontak said. “We played Liberty-Benton at Perrysburg in a dis-trict semifi nal game and we beat them. Since then, they’ve won a state champi-onship (2010) and been to the fi nal four and have a great program and a great history. To be with Nate also makes it that much more of a great honor.”

Oak Harbor’s only losses were to Clyde (twice), which lost to fi nal four state qualifi er Rogers in the district fi nals; Bellevue, a regional fi nalist in D-II; to Port Clinton; and to Bucyrus Wynford, which hit a 3-pointer with seconds left to beat the Rockets 40-37 in the district fi nals.

Kontak’s assistants were Art Eli, Mark Boukissen and junior varsity coach Ralph Mills.

“Those are guys who have been around for a while,” Kontak said. “We spend time away from the court to-gether. The girls were able to see us get along so well, to see us scheme, game plan, laugh together, cry together - all the things you have to do to come to-gether during the season. There wasn’t a lot of drama. It was a lot of good lead-ership and playing basketball and rep-resenting your school.”

ers reaching 1,000 points play four years varsity.”

Albright is joined by teammate Haley Pickard, a 5-6 sophomore point guard, who averaged 16.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, and had 110 steals this season. She has been DeStazio’s starting point guard the past two years and was the second leading scorer in the NBC. She was fi rst team All-NBC and second team District 7.

Lake 5-7 junior guard Jordyn Taylor, despite averaging just 10.2 points, was fi rst team because of her play out in the back-court and on defense. She had 107 assists, 84 steals, made 42.2 percent (78 for 185) of her two-point fi eld goal attempts and despite her size, led the team with 116 re-bounds. Playing almost every minute of ev-ery game, she had just 40 turnovers — less than two per contest.

Rounding out the All-Press fi rst team is Woodmore 5-10 senior wing/post Allie Wank, who averaged 14.5 points, six re-bounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.9 steals. She shot 40 percent from two-point range, an out-landish 53 percent from three-point range, made 58 percent of her free throws, and had 42 steals.

Along with Genoa, Clay and Waite, playing against larger schools in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference and Toledo City League, were the only teams to have three players each on the All-Press fi rst team, second team, or third team.

Slovak, after restoring the Clay girls’ basketball program to a winning mind-set, saw two players on the second team, guards Haley Hess and Morgan Connor, both underclassmen. In voting, Hess nar-rowly missed earning a fi rst team selection.

Wooten returns to train athletesBy Malachi BrownStaff WriterWindow To Woodmore

Woodmore’s newly hired strength training coach, Charlie Wooten, returned to his alma mater planning to help build the bodies of student-athletes.

Wooten, a standout athlete during his high school days and as a pitcher for the Bowling Green State University baseball team, loves being the strength coach.

“I love interacting with the kids,” said Wooten. “This is what I went to school for, and this is what I always wanted to do.”

He plans on incorporating many dif-ferent styles in the training he presents to athletes; Olympic type training, total body, balance, kinetic awareness and fl exibility. He believes a good training schedule for high school students is a three-day weight training workout and one day devoted to jogging and dynamic training.

Wooten is here for all sports. Both boys and girls are included in his training ses-sions. He plans on helping the athletes by showing them new techniques in a training schedule that he will help them devise.

He also helps athletes to have the cor-rect mindset and be ready to take on the mental aspect of training, which helps them strive for greater results.

“I really enjoy having Wooten in the weight room,” said senior Phillip Thorbahn. “He knows how to really push you and get the most out of every workout.”

According to Wooten, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to train. Healthy ways allow the body to respond to the stimulants and recover. By allowing the body to recov-er, this helps promote muscle growth. Not allowing the body to recover will actually break down muscle. That is why it is im-portant to allow the muscles in one’s body to have periods of rest.

Wooten advises that before someone begins to lift, he or she should eat a small snack. Then afterwards, it should take no less than 30 minutes to get something to eat. Wooten recommends chocolate milk to his athletes after they are fi nished training. The meal should consist of carbohydrates and protein.

Clay 1,000 point

career scorers Jim Routson (1954-57) 1,226 Randy Felhaber (1968-72) 1,115 Ben Tobias (1996-99) 1,103 Tom Clay (1996-98) 1,035 Pat Booth (2010-14) 1,025

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

Clay senior Pat Booth knew how many points he needed to score against Bowsher in the teams’ sectional tournament opener Feb. 26 at Waite.

Booth’s goal was not only to help Clay upset the City League champion and eighth-ranked Rebels, but to reach a career milestone.

“I remember going into that game I needed 12 points,” Booth said. “I got that in the fi rst quarter. I was on fi re that game.”

Booth’s 12th point was career point No. 1,000. He fi nished the game – and his prep career - with a career-high 37 points in the Eagles’ loss, their 20th of the season (3-20, 1-13 Three Rivers Athletic Conference).

“It felt great,” Booth said. “I think I hit 5-of-10 from three. Other than that, it was really just (scoring by) driv-ing and on a lot of fast breaks.”

Booth (1,025 points) became just the fi fth Clay boy to reach the 1,000-point milestone, joining Jim Routson (1,226), Randy Felhaber (1,115), Ben Tobias (1,103) and Tom Clay (1,035).

After the Bowsher game, Booth said, “We took pictures and fans and parents were saying congratulations and asking for pictures. It made me feel pretty good. I was embarrassed that we lost, but other than that it felt pretty good.”

Booth, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard, aver-aged 14.8 points and 4.2 rebounds a game this season and dished out 48 assists. He is the Eagles’ career leader in 3-pointers made, with 115.

“Pat has been great for our program,” coach Rob Belegrin said. “He transferred in from St. John’s (as a freshman) and made an immediate impact. He has a great attitude and listens to everything in a positive way. I told him after his freshman year that he will be the next 1,000-point scorer at Clay, and that worked out pretty well.

Pat Booth joins elite company“He scored within our offense; we

never really ran specials (plays) for him. I’d like to think that our style of offensive play suited him well, and he bought into it from the start. I appreciate that. He has been a pleasure to coach, and we have a solid re-lationship off the court as well. I’m truly going to miss him.”

Booth said he took advice from his fa-ther, Patrick Booth, who played basketball at Waite.

“He told me to always put the work in,” Booth said. “He got me involved with AAU ball going into my seventh grade sum-mer. I started with the Ohio Heat with a coach my dad knew and joined that sum-mer team. That was the fi rst time we trav-eled a lot and went to small cities around Ohio. We did pretty good.”

Booth said he played baseball and bas-ketball before he got to high school, but he gave up baseball once he started attending Clay.

“I just thought bas-ketball was a more fun game,” he said.

Booth remembers scoring one bucket and handing out “maybe fi ve assists” in his fi rst varsity game, a section-al tournament loss to St. John’s. A lot of baskets followed over the next three years. He said

Belegrin told him he would score 1,000 points before his Clay career was over.

“At the time I would go to open gyms and I could compete with guys at the varsi-ty level,” said Booth, who was a 5-11 point guard as a freshman. “Once (Belegrin) told me that, I always stuck with it and always tried to better myself.”

Booth said he began pressing once he learned he was 50 points shy of No. 1,000.

“I was counting down,” he said. “Not during the games, but before the games. I wouldn’t recommend doing that. Just play.”

Booth added that the Eagles could have had “a real good season if we could have learned how to fi nish.” Clay lost 10 games by six points or less.

“Still,” he said, “I accomplished a lot of goals at Clay.”

““I was counting down. Not during the games, but before the games. I wouldn’t recommend doing that. Just play.

Cardinals fi nished 20-1, win conferenceThe Cardinal Stritch junior varsity girls basketball team fi nished an undefeated sea-son in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, winning the league title, and had only one loss all year in a non-league game to Evergreen. The Cardinals fi nished with a record of 20-1. Coaches are Dick Zellner and George Mummert. Players are Maddy Neihaus, Madison Moran, Emily Uher, Chayce McQueary, Jettie Moore, Jordyn Hal-comb, Abby Cronin, Sydnie Rodriguez, Kama Hardy, and Jami Hardy. Eight of the girls also got varsity playing time this year.

For the second consecutive season, Florida State senior forward Natasha Howard (Waite) has earned All-ACC First Team honors as selected by the Blue Ribbon Panel, announced by the league.

The fi rst-team honor that comes in arguably the top conference in women’s college basketball adds another piece of history for the Toledo native. Howard’s se-lection to the 2013-14 All-ACC First Team makes her the fi rst Seminole in the ACC era (1992-Present) to earn multiple fi rst team honors. Last season, she was chosen for the fi rst team by the Blue Ribbon Panel and second team by the ACC head coaches.

“Natasha has been spectacular this sea-son,” FSU coach Sue Semrau said. “I’m so proud of the way she has worked to make herself one of the best players in the coun-try. Natasha is very deserving of all the recognition that she gets because of how dedicated she is to the game, and it’s been a pleasure to watch her lead us this season. Her will to win and unselfi sh play have been critical to our team’s success.”

Howard joins only two players in FSU women’s basketball history in making multiple all-conference fi rst teams. FSU Athletics Hall of Famers Bev Burnett (1988, 1989) and Wanda Burns (1990, 1991) gar-nered fi rst-team selections as members of the Metro Conference.

Howard’s all-conference pick is the 40th time an FSU player has earned all-ACC accolades, which includes rookie team selections.

Howard has enjoyed a senior season for the ages, averaging 21.2 points, 9.3 rebounds while shooting 60.3 percent. According to the latest NCAA statistics, Howard is one of just six players in the na-tion shooting above 60 percent from the fl oor.

The Toledo native recently earned a spot on the ACC Women’s Basketball Championship All-Tournament Team. In FSU’s second-round matchup against Miami, she recorded her 40th career dou-ble-double with 30 points and 16 rebounds in an important 72-67 overtime victory. She followed that up with 29 points on 14-of-22 shooting facing constant double teams against No. 1 seed Notre Dame.

Howard’s 21.2 points per game average puts her in a spot to possibly fi nish with the highest single-season scoring average in school history. She is currently third behind FSU Athletics Hall of Famers Bev Burnett (21.3 pts.) and Sue Galkantas (21.6 pts.).

In ACC play, Howard raised her num-bers by averaging 23.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and shooting 58.6 percent from the fl oor. Her All-America caliber season has been highlighted by her versatility, sitting in the Top fi ve in the ACC in scoring, rebounding, fi eld goal percentage, steals per game (2.1), blocked shots per game (2.3) and offensive rebounds per game (3.7).

Howard’s selection to the ACC All-Defensive Team marks the second of her career. She joins an elite list of multiple all-defensive team honorees at FSU in Brooke Wyckoff (2000-01), Alicia Gladden (2005-07) and Jacinta Monroe (2009-10). Gladden is the only Seminole to earn three selec-tions to the ACC All-Defensive Team.

Howard leads Florida State with 74 blocked shots this year, currently the fi fth-most in a season at FSU. Her 65 steals are also the 16th-most by a Seminole in a sin-gle season. For her career, Howard is only three rebounds away from becoming the all-time leader at FSU. With her 1,027 ca-

Howard adds fi rst team All-ACC honors to resumé

reer boards, she is on the verge of passing Seminole legend Sue Galkantas (1980-84) and her 1,029 rebounds.

A Senior CLASS Award fi nalist and candidate for the Wade Trophy, Howard has enjoyed an extraordinary fi nal year at Florida State. She is the only player in the conference who ranks in the Top 10 in scoring, rebounding, fi eld goal percentage, steals and blocked shots.

Unbeaten Notre Dame, which will en-ter this week’s ACC Women’s Tournament as the No. 1 seed, led the way with three total selections. The Fighting Irish guard tandem of senior Kayla McBride and sophomore Jewel Loyd were voted to the fi rst team, while senior forward Natalie Achonwa is a second-team honoree.

Four fi rst-team players from last season are repeat selections this year in two-time ACC Player of the Year Alyssa Thomas of Maryland, Duke junior Elizabeth Williams, Howard and Georgia Tech senior Tyaunna Marshall. Duke’s Tricia Liston, a second-team selection in 2013, was named to this year’s All-ACC fi rst team.

Rounding out the 10-member fi rst team are North Carolina freshman Diamond DeShields, NC State senior Markeisha Gatling and Wake Forest junior Dearica Hamby.

Joining Notre Dame’s Achonwa on the second team are NC State senior Kody Burke, Georgia Tech freshman Kaela Davis, Syracuse sophomore Brittney Sykes and Virginia Tech senior Uju Ugoka.

More all-conferenceHoward earned more all-conference ac-

colades when it was announced she earned both Head Coaches’ All-ACC First Team honors as well as a selection to the ACC All-Defensive Team, announced Monday by the conference.

An All-ACC First Team, Second Team, Freshman Team and Defensive Team were

voted on by the league’s 15 head coaches. The All-ACC First Team and Freshman Teams mirror that of the Blue Ribbon Panel All-ACC selections, which were announced on March 4.

“These are two more awards that are in-dicative of how special of a season Natasha has had,” Semrau said. “What she has done for our team this year, both offensive and defensively, puts this season among the

best for an individual in school history. We have leaned on her all season and she con-tinues to come through for us. She is some-one who put in hours and hours of work in the offseason and now she is enjoying the fruits of her labor.”

Florida State awaits its NCAA Tournament fate with the NCAA Women’s Basketball Selection Show on Monday, March 17, at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Jacob Huss swings into Woodmore coaching position

The Woodmore varsity baseball team will be working hard this spring under the direction of new head coach Jacob Huss. Huss started coaching in 2003 and since then has coached Genoa Little League, as well as junior varsity and assistant var-sity at Lakota High School before coming to Woodmore. With several returning seniors, Huss feels he will have great leadership that will lead the team positivity. “I’m excited for the season,” said Huss. “There are upperclassmen that can take charge and lead the team to a successful season.” Huss has been the JV coach since 2010, so he is excited to take on the new position because he has worked with the upcoming varsity players before. Many of the play-ers this year are excited to see Huss take charge. “He’s very positive and enthusiastic,” said sophomore Matt Depner. “He’s my fa-vorite coach because he doesn’t bring any-one down and works solely on fundamen-tals.” Starting fresh with a new coach for some schools could be a setback, but not for Woodmore baseball. “We should have a good season,” said senior Erich Greulich. “I hope to help the team to get to the top of the league and also have a good tournament run.” Both Depner and Greulich admire Huss as a coach because of his calmness in a tough situation and dedication to making the team better each day. “This year might be a struggle due to the number of pitchers and loss of a few key players from graduating or not coming out this season,” said Depner. “But with

hard work we will pull through.” Coach Huss added, “Wins and losses aren’t the only way to measure a team. We hope to have every athlete grow on and off the fi eld.” (— by Window To Woodmore staff writer Maddy Hines)

Walleye WinterfestWalleye Winterfest, presented by

ProMedica, has already hit its first tick-et milestone. Ten thousand tickets have already been sold for the first two outdoor hockey games in ECHL history. The games will be played at Fifth Third Field in downtown Toledo on December 27, 2014 and January 3, 2015.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled that nine months before Winterfest the demand for tickets is so great, said Erik Ibsen, assistant general manager of ticket sales. “We hope these games mirror a Mud Hens opening

day crowd and we believe this excitement will continue to grow as the games get closer.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Be Slow to Anger

I often wonder why we allow things that don't concern us,

or situations that we can't control, to upset us so much.

Some of us seem to get so bent out of shape, over

something that we've seen on television or read in the

newspaper, that it appears to ruin our whole day. And

although there are problems in the world, it is indeed

unfortunate for any of us to be carrying around so much

anger that we have trouble enjoying our lives. Also, it is

quite silly to become infuriated over relatively minor

things such as being kept waiting, or bad drivers on the

highway. There are enough unpleasant issues in our

lives that are unavoidable, such as our health, family, or

work situations, that it seems we shouldn't go around

looking for more. And remember too, that anger

increases our blood pressure and heart rate, and is

associated with numerous potentially harmful

gastrointestinal problems. The Bible tells us that we

should get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, and that

we should be kind and compassionate to one another.

(Ephesians 4:31-32) Cease from anger, and forsake

wrath. Do not fret, it only causes harm. New K.J.V.

Winter Wonderland Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus transformed its Multipurpose Room into a winter wonderland for a Snowfl ake Ball held Feb. 23. A snowstorm and poor weather conditions caused the event to be rescheduled from its original date of Jan. 26. Riverview Administrator Kendra German welcomed 60 community mem-bers to the room, which was decorated with white lights and a winter balloon arch, along with expansive snow scenes. Guests enjoyed lasagna prepared by Riverview’s Food and Nutrition Department, as well as salad, garlic toast and a variety of cheese-cakes. Entertainment was provided by Jerry Wittman. Multiple door prizes were awarded to those in attendance, many of which were donated by Ottawa County Senior Resources. The grand prize, a large snow-man, was won by Margaret Kuhlman. Riverview is planning a number of community events this spring. A St. Patty’s Day Parade, which will be held March 15 at 10:30 a.m. in the mul-tipurpose room, will include a lunch and photos with the Riverview Leprechaun. On Saturday, April 5, Riverview will host its annual Swing into Spring Craft Show and Easter Bunny Luncheon, which will include photos and Easter Egg Hunt. For more information or to reserve a meal for the Leprechaun or Easter Bunny Lunch,

call the Riverview front desk 419-898-2851 ext. 0. Dinner to benefi t grotto The family of Phil Tersigni will prepare a spaghetti dinner in memory of their hus-band, father and grandfather to benefi t Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto in Genoa Saturday, March 29 from 4-7 p.m. in the church hall, 204 Main St. The dinner will include homemade meatballs and sauce over spaghetti, along with garlic bread, a salad bar with home-made dressings, beverage and dessert. The donation is $9 for adults and $4 for chil-dren; those age 2 and younger eat free. Dine in or carry out. For tickets, call Kathy Witt at 419-262-1333. Tickets will also be available at the door.

Spark Award winner Despite several job changes and job sites within WSOS, Brenda Barton never lost her love for serving preschoolers and their families. Her belief in WSOS’s core value of helping people help themselves earned her the organization’s Spark Award for January 2014. Barton, an Oak Harbor resident and currently a center specialist at WSOS Genoa and Port Clinton centers, was hon-ored for demonstrating leadership, qual-ity and service to children and families in the Early Childhood Program. The Spark Award is presented to employees in the WSOS Family Development programs who demonstrate innovative and caring service to the children and families of the program. According to her nominators, she demonstrated excellence through qual-

ity of work and leadership as she helped prepare the two centers she supervises for the accreditation process of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). “This award means a lot to me because I was nominated by the people I work with daily.” Barton said. “I appreciate that they see me as a leader and team member and that they realize that I work hard to help make our centers a great place for our chil-dren, families and staff.” Barton was hired at WSOS in 1980 as a home visitor. After 10 years in that posi-tion, she became a classroom teacher at the newly established Genoa Center. Later, she was named the site coordinator/teacher. To learn more about WSOS services, call 1-800-775-9767 or visit www.wsos.org.

Toastmasters honored The Toastmasters Area 2 International Speech and Evaluation Contest was held Feb. 19 at the Way Public Library in Perrysburg. Two of the winners were from The Great Eastern Toastmasters Club in Oregon. Speech Contest fi rst-place winner was Allen Hoar of Oregon. Tom Baker, of Walbridge, earned second-place honors. Hoar was also a second-place winner in the Speech Evaluation Contest. Both will rep-resent the club in the District 28 Division Contest, which will be held March 29. The contest is open to the public. For more information about the contest or about Toastmasters, call Julie at 419-836-5051 or Ken at 419-378-1777. The Great Eastern Toastmasters meet the fi rst and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. at ProMedica Bay Park Hospital. Guests are always welcome.
